Abstract:
International Conference in Saarbrücken on the ethical issues of nanotechnology
NanoBioNet e. V., Centre of Excellence for Nano and Biotechnol-ogy, is organizing an international conference entitled 'SIZE MAT-TERS 2009: The ethical challenges facing nanotechnology.' The event will be held on 17 and 18 June 2009 in the Festival Hall of the Saarbrücker Schloss.
Throughout the two days internationally renowned experts will be presenting an overview of the fields of application and potentiali-ties of nanotechnology and discussing the ethical issues involved.
The event is under the patronage of Peter Müller, Minister-President of Saarland.

Individual existence and society in a nano future
Nanotechnology is considered by numerous experts to be one of the most fascinating and exciting high technologies of our age - all the more so exciting because it raises several questions of an ethical dimension: How is ‘nano' changing our coexistence, our work and consumer environment? And to what extent are we prepared to accept such change?
The subject matter of the conference is divided into four sets of issues:
