GoNano (Governing nanotechnologies through societal engagement)
Nanotechnologies – the purposeful engineering of matter close to the atomic or molecular scale – have given rise to great expectations in recent years, unlocking new research opportunities in areas as diverse as energy, healthcare, electronics, food, and construction. At the same time, concerns have been raised about possible unintended consequences of the use of nanomaterials.
GoNano is an EU-funded project that enables co-creation between citizens, civil society organisations, industry, researchers, and policy makers across Europe to align future nanotechnologies with societal needs and concerns. It aims to demonstrate how researchers can work with publics and professional stakeholders to create novel suggestions for future nanotechnology products.
The goals are to co-create concrete product suggestions within the areas of food, health, and energy; illustrate new opportunities for innovation; and develop policy recommendations.
Project timeline: 2017 - 2020
Key contributors: Craig Richmond, Boaz Kogon, Paul Wright, Bryce Feltis and Arnan Mitchell
