NANOPINION – Monitoring public opinion on Nanotechnology in Europe

Share this project

Nanopinion monitors public opinions on nanotechnology and engages the general public in debate on potential risks and benefits of nanotechnologies

The main objectives of Nanopinion are to:

•    engage the public in nanotechnologies by establishing a dialogue about nanotechnologies between researchers and the public, using both formal and informal communication channels (surveys, social media, street labs, and various other events in science centres)
•    monitor European citizens' and consumers' attitudes towards nanotechnology applications
•    build an online portal to inform the general public on nanotechnology and current nanotechnology research
•    produce policy recommendations on nanotechnology education and public attitudes regarding research, regulation and social implications of nanotechnologies.
•    identify best practices for outreach and communication of nanotechnologies to the public

The specific target groups of Nanopinion are students and teachers. The consortium also aims to explore ways to connect nanotechnology subjects to school curricula and produce educational materials for teaching and learning about nanotechnology in secondary schools.
