Bereich: Technik & Wissen

How can we promote broad social discussion of nanotechnologies? They are extremely diverse, and feature prominently in EU research strategy. Yet few citizens know much about them. The NanOpinion project, delivered new insights and recommendations on this question. NanOpinion, which began in May 2012, was a 30 month project to investigate how opinion on this new generation of technologies is shaped, and how to inform public debate, especially among hard to reach groups, and enhance education.

The results inform recommendations about future discussion and regulation of NT. Our project included surveys, social media, school activities and public engagement activities built around specially designed street labs and monitoring stations. Our analysis draws on 8,330 questionnaires, as well as data from workshops attached to the streetlabs, and reports from teachers and our so called monitoring stations.

This effort yielded a wealth of data to help plan future public engagement on nanotechnologies and manage their regulation. Main findings and their implications were discussed in a workshop at the LET’S conference. (Leading enabling technologies for societal challenges).
