During summer 2019, nearly 900 participants from five European countries answered GoNano online questionnaire, which aimed to find out more about people´s understanding of nanotechnology and its application areas in Food, Energy and Health.
The GoNano project is enabling co-creation between citizens, researchers, industry, civil society organisations, and policy makers across Europe to align future nanotechnologies with societal needs and values. The Harvestore project is bringing together key actors in science and technology from across Europe with the goal of opening-up a new technology paradigm for energy harvesting and … Continued
‘Czech is nano’ is a project in the Czech Republic to popularizes the advanced work of Czech scientists and researchers, and demonstrates this with a vast selection of inventions and everyday applications of nanotechnology. Every year the Czech government organizes the Nano Days in the most important cities of the Czech Republic Technology Centre CAS … Continued
These scenarios collect up on the analysis of future visions of nanotechnology application, questions on acceptability and sustainability (cultural appropriation, societal implementation) and desirability (gender and values). The scenarios take an everyday life situation as a starting point to illustrate how nanotechnologies could be implanted in the future in health, food and energy. The scenarios … Continued
The GoNano project has published a working paper on the design and outcomes of the first round of stakeholder workshops organised in the Netherlands, the Czech Republic and Spain. The stakeholder workshops are a key part of the GoNano project: integrating the lessons learned in the first exploratory stages of the project and the citizen … Continued
Following the GoNano citizen workshop, a group of close to thirty stakeholders (mostly researchers) gathered at RMIT Europe’s offices in Barcelona to come up with new directions for research lines and activities in nanotechnology that put the citizens’ needs and values and the centre. The workshop participants first analysed the key needs and values of … Continued
Report on the development of the background material for the stakeholder workshops in Barcelona, Prague and Enschede. The purpose of the background material was to inform stakeholders about the co-creation process of GoNano, nanotechnologies and the outcomes of the citizen workshops. Read the full GoNano report- D4.1 Background material for stakeholder workshops * The document may … Continued
These brochures were made as background material to prepare the stakeholder workshops of the three pilots: health, energy and food. They contain basic information about the project, nanotechnologies and the needs, concerns and values from the citizen workshops. The workshops took place in the Netherlands, Spain and the Czech Republic. The objectives of the workshop … Continued
Three thematic deliberative and envisioning citizen workshops on food, energy and health formed the first step of the co-creation process. The goal of the workshops was to inform citizens on nanotechnologies and possible future application areas in order to facilitate their reflection on wishes, needs and concerns. The citizens’ inputs form the basis for understanding social needs and values, … Continued
