Nanologue: European dialogue on nanotech benefits, risks

Judy Conner at Foresight brings to our attention: "A new European Commissioned-funded project, Nanologue www.nanologue.net, is launched this week, bringing together leading researchers from across Europe to facilitate an international dialogue on the social, ethical and legal benefits and potential impacts of nanoscience and nanotechnologies…Nanotechnology could have a radical impact across many fields, from drug delivery to textile manufacture, environmental monitoring to microprocessing. With potential social and economic benefits will come responsibilities for ensuring social, ethical and legal concerns are met while enabling competitive advantage for European business."
