Nanoscience under the spotlight
Abstract:
Today's ALDE seminar on the "Opportunities and Risks of Nano Technology" has wide implications both for business and society at large. More than 150 observers from politics, science and business signed up to the two hour event at the European Parliament. It embraces presentations from both consumer (BEUC) and business perspectives (BASF, Nanotechnologies Industry Association) and finally from the European Commission which is working on a European policy on nanoscience.
