Nanologue is a new European Commissioned-funded project led by the Wuppertal Institute. The project aims to facilitate an international dialogue on the social, ethical and legal benefits and potential impacts of nanoscience and nanotechnologies. Using an existing NT web-platform, media-workshops, publicity materials and conference attendances will support a broad outreach and further substantiate dialogue. According to a Wuppertal press release, the study will be based on a dialogue and a dissemination process but the output from Nanologue will be used to enhance Europe’s ability to compete in this vital industry. In fact, the project will be used as a vehicle to “facilitate the translation of civil society’s ethical, legal and social requirements on NT research into a real competitive advantage for the European industry.” Press Release.
