The Nanodialogues
Four experiments in upstream public engagement
The Nanodialogues
Nanotechnology - the science of small things - promises to be one of the defining technologies of the 21st Century. But what will it mean for society and the environment? And how can public engagement in deciding the direction of research be moved 'upstream'?
For a closer look, head to the project blog...
... or read the pamphlet.
The project also produced reports from its individual experiments. Have a look at these...
- Experiment One (Environment Agency) - published on their web site, along with an EA/Defra response and evaluation, as a Science Report
- Experiment Two (EPSRC/BBSRC) - published on their respective web sites, along with an evaluation and response
- Experiment Three (Practical Action) - Report on their web site
- Experiment Four to follow
