Nanotechnologies is a rapid expanding field of research and businesses. This gives a lot of new opportunities for a more sustainable world. But how do citizens play a role in this wide range of societal needs and desires? How do they perceive and balance benefit and risk?
Together with GoNano you will work in a more resilient and robust way to incorporate different viewpoints from all stakeholders (citizens, research, policymakers, civil society organisations) involved. We will co-create concrete product suggestions within the areas of food, health and energy, illustrate new opportunities for innovation and develop policy recommendations.
