The Responsible Nano Forum

“Nanotechnologies are likely to have a huge impact on our lives...

... not just because of the new products they may help create or even the potential risks which may arise, but because of their new potential life-changing impact on our health, enviroment, societies and perhaps our understanding of life itself.

Our purpose is to stimulate all organisations involved to play their part in realising the benefits and minimising the risks of nanotechnologies and ensure that the public has a real say in how they develop.”

Our work

To help fulfil Our Goals we concentrate on three areas of work:

Honest Broker - bringing stakeholders together to explore key issues and consider solutions

Responsible development
Understand & promote good governance and responsible development

Public involvement - to involve the public directly in discussions and stimulater others to do likewise
