2002 Workshop on Social Implications | Nat'l Nanotech Initiative
by Jeremy at 11:19 pm EST, Jan 29, 2002

Building on the report of the initial September 2000 workshop (which I blogged recently), this joint EC-NSF workshop will be held this Thursday/Friday in Italy. Topics of interest:

* interface of nanotech with environmental science, energy, IT, materials and manufacturing, medicine, and biotech.
* scoial, ethical, political and economic issues with nanotech
* integration with education.
* impacts of similarities & differences in American and European societies on nanotech R&D

Speakers are from many US and EC institutions, including Sandia Labs, U. Cambridge, H-P, and many more. There are multiple talks on nanobio topics of interest. A full report will follow the workshop.
