This is your space to learn more about the role citizens play in the NANO2ALL project, develop or deepen your knowledge of the nanotechnology field and stay up to date with latest news.
Let’s get started!
Citizens & NANO2ALL
While one hundred citizens from six different countries took part personally in our project activities so far, we are in touch with many more via our website and social media channels. Your contributions help the project identify the needs, values and concerns that matter when it comes to new nanotechnology developments. Integrating these into the Research and Innovation process is an essential part of the Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) approach.
Connect with the project on social media for live debates and online discussions, and we will make sure to bring your needs and concerns to the relevant policy makers and researchers.
