Mapping
Designed to prepare the ground for the subsequent discussion, Nanologue's first project phase aimed at providing an overview of current research and positions on ethical, legal and social aspects (ELSA) of selected nanotechnologies.
Nanologue Mapping Study
A mapping study identified more than 100 nanotechnology related publications, out of which 15 have been analysed in more detail. Read the summaries of these studies as well as the identification of relevant ethical, legal and social aspects in the Nanologue Mapping Study and its Appendix.
Nanologue Background Paper
Three application areas, namely energy conversion and storage, food packaging and medical diagnosis, have been selected as subjects for further investigation and dialogue. The Nanologue Background Paper looks in depth at the current positions on both benefits and risks from the persepective of seven distinct ethical, legal and social aspects. Learn more about the applications in the Nanologue Background Paper and its Appendix.
Teaching Material
Powerpoint slides summarising the main findings are available for educational purposes. Contact us for further information.
Nanologue scenarios published
'The Future of Nanotechnology - We need to talk' describes three scenarios contrasting developments of Nanotechnology in Europe by 2015.
NanoMeter online
The NanoMeter, a web-based tool to carry out a brief societal assessment of nanotechnological applications, is now available online.
