Quali applicazioni esistono già e quali si prospettano per il futuro? Questo campo di ricerca, decisamente “di frontiera”, apre scenari anche inquietanti, e tocca ambiti così eterogenei, dal controllo delle persone all’inquinamento e alla medicina, da coinvolgere inevitabilmente il futuro di ognuno di noi. La mostra espone oggetti realizzati con l’aiuto di materiali nanotecnologici, come celle solari organiche, chip nanometrici, schermi a cristalli liquidi con nanoparticelle, materiali anti-macchia, lastre con protezione contro l’ossidazione, materiali a prova di impronte digitali e impianti medici biocompatibili; allo stesso tempo tratta gli aspetti etici legati allo sviluppo di queste discipline. Sarà possibile quindi partecipare e confrontare le proprie opinioni sulle nanotecnologie con quelle espresse da personalità di rilievo provenienti dal mondo scientifico, industriale e politico. La mostra Nanodialogue è stata realizzata dalla Fondazione IDIS come parte del progetto omonimo sostenuto della Commissione Europea.

Mardi 21 mars - 20h30 - Tonneau de Diogène, 6, place Notre Dame - Grenoble Le développement potentiel des nanosciences et des nanotechnologies s'inscrit dans une dynamique européenne et planétaire dont il nous faut prendre conscience. Parmi les arguments avancés pour s'y mettre et y investir massivement, il y a l'idée d'une compétition mondiale dont nous risquerions d'être éjectés. Le débat ne porte donc pas seulement sur le positif ou le négatif de tel ou tel développement technologique, mais sur le type de dynamique dans laquelle nous nous engageons. Quel nano-monde ? Le Café Européen des sciences propose de traiter des dynamiques internationales, en particulier européenne, Europe - Asie, Nord - Sud qui sont à l'oeuvre, ainsi que des questions de la régulation planétaire des transformations en cours. En présence de : Raymond Seltz, Secrétaire général d’Euroscience Georges Waysand, Responsable de la Section « Ile de France » d’Euroscience Intervenants : Roger Maynard, Président de la Société Française de Physique Dominique Vinck, Directeur de CRISTO (UPMF) Modérateur : Max Verdone, ancien Directeur du GIE Microélectronique CEA - CNET Conférence débat "Vivons-nous l'été indien des énergies fossiles ?", du choc des prix aux pics de production Mercredi 22 mars - 19h00 - Amphi de la CCI, 1 place André Malraux, Grenoble par Jean-Marie MARTIN-AMOUROUX, ancien directeur de recherche CNRS, président de l'association HYDRO 21 La moitié des ressources pétrolières mondiales a déjà été consommée. Le pic de production pétrolière est proche, bientôt suivi de celui du gaz naturel. Ce message lancé par les anciens géologues de la Shell et de Total ne fait pas l'unanimité, mais il mérite d'être examiné attentivement. D'autant que l'Amérique du Nord découvre qu'elle a épuisé ses énormes ressources gazières et l'Europe sa dépendance d'une Russie de plus en plus courtisée par une Asie en plein essor économique. http://www.alpes.cnrs.fr/11potentielscientifique/rdv/rdvmars06.htm Pagina 2 van 4 FEATURE nan´o·tech·nol´o·gy n. Governments invest billions in it and tens of thousands of papers are published on the subject Most formal definitions of nanotechnology revolve around the study and control of phenomena and materials at length scales below 100 nm, whereas informal definitions almost always make a comparison with a human hair, which is about 80,000 nm wide. However, nanotechnology can mean different things to different people, which is why Nature Nanotechnology asked a range of researchers, industrialists and others what nanotechnology means to them. From enthusiastic to sceptical, the responses reflect a variety of perspectives. For me, nanotechnology is all about building things. Judging by current rates of progress in fields as diverse as protein engineering and nanoelectronics, the emergence of atomic-precision manufacturing on an industrial scale is still some decades away. Nevertheless, it will happen — because physics and chemistry allow it, and because the economic incentives for continued progress are enormous. Information technology, worth roughly one trillion dollars per year in the global economy, already rests on over a century of progress in miniaturization. The ability to design and build complex things on ever-smaller scales is now transforming established fields such as medical diagnostics, energy conversion, and structural materials, and is sparking new fields such as quantum information processing and nanobiotechnology. Thus, the coming decades should be great ones for scientists as their discoveries both enable, and are enabled by, the burgeoning capability to engineer nanoscale structures. Thomas Theis is director of physical sciences at the IBM Watson Research Center. One way of defining nanotechnology is to talk about length scales. A different way is to see it as an upcoming economic, business and social phenomenon. Nanoadvocates argue it will revolutionize the way we live, work and communicate. If it 8 CH. SCHOENENBERGER every year, but what exactly is nanotechnology? A carbon nanotube freely supported on four gold electrodes. will dramatically affect everyone, shouldn’t everyone have a say in what developments take place — with what impacts, under whose control, and with who benefiting (and losing)? The promoters of genetically modified organisms failed to recognize that widespread adoption of a technology is a social, as well as a technical process. Nanotechnologies will have to go through a similar experience. Western democracies might deliberate on taxation, public services and foreign and military policy, but transformative new technology may have a bigger effect on people’s lives. Innovation is going at a speed uncontrolled by national and international regulations, meaning that responsibility will pass to companies, scientists and developers, with all the uncomfortable scrutiny by civil society that this implies. Doug Parr is chief scientist for Greenpeace in the UK. There isn’t just one nanotechnology; there are many nanotechnologies and these are primarily enabling technologies and not end products in themselves. It would not surprise me if the term nanotechnology disappeared from general use in the next decade, with the terms nanomaterials and nanobiotechnology assuming greater currency. There will be successive (and overlapping) waves of product development and introduction over the next 20–30 years. We are currently in the initial wave, in which most of the products on the market are nanomaterials in various forms, many arising from defence and security applications, or from sporting goods and consumer convenience items. Within 5–10 years, we can expect sophisticated electronic devices that use nanoscale circuitry and memory. After 10–15 years, the introduction of pharmaceutical products, drug delivery, and health-monitoring devices will begin. Beyond the edge of our conception, perhaps 25–30 years ahead, new forms of devices and processes may emerge. Peter Binks is chief executive officer of Nanotechnology Victoria, a consortium of four research organizations focused on the commercialization of nanotechnologies in Australia. Nanotechnology has only been developed systematically as an interdisciplinary field during the past decade. I see nanotechnology as a toolbox that provides nanometre-sized building blocks for the tailoring of new materials, devices and systems. The nanometre length scale (that is < 100 nm) offers unique size-dependent properties in physico– chemical phenomena. It also presents unique biomimetic features essential in the creation of complex structures for tissue scaffolds and artificial organs/ implants.Over the past 10–15 years, nanotechnology has evolved by both bottom-up and top-down approaches. Tremendous advances have been made in bionanotechnology, supramolecular chemistry, nanostructured materials, self-assembly and nanofabrication. We now have a great toolbox that enables us to bridge between molecular sciences, nanoscience, functional materials, and micro-electromechanical systems. Jackie Ying is the executive director of the Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology in Singapore, and adjunct professor of chemical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. nature nanotechnology | VOL 1 | OCTOBER 2006 | www.nature.com/naturenanotechnology ©2006 Nature Publishing Group FEATURE Nanoscience and nanotechnology can be regarded as areas defined by a chosen boundary, but I find it more fruitful to see them as directions united by shared objectives. Central among these is the atomistic understanding and control of an increasing range of physical systems and phenomena. Of special importance are combinations of understanding and control that enable the systematic development of classes of diverse, complex nanosystems. A strategic direction for this work will be to develop nanomachines that are analogous to ribosomes but able to assemble a broader range of structures with broader capabilities. I see this as furthering the age-old process of using tools to construct better tools, advancing along paths that have led us from iron hammers to the borders of nanotechnology. In areas where theory can describe what cannot yet be made, computational modelling points to paths that can lead far indeed, increasing capabilities and applications at each step. document. In every paragraph there is something outlandish or at least a little edgy for that time, but nothing that is out of the ordinary now. It is a testament to the brilliance of Feynman and, for someone who was fifteen years old at the time, shocking just how long ago 1959 was. But even Feynman in 1959 did not seem to see the scanning probe microscopies coming. For that we have Gerd Binnig and Heinrich Rohrer to thank, and that invention is truly the watershed between nanotechnology and everything really small, like molecules, which came before but were, in the main, only accessible collectively. and technological advances will bring significant benefits to multiple scientific disciplines and innovation to manufacturers. Chunli Bai is executive vice president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, director of the China National Center for Nanoscience and Technology, and chief scientist of the China National Steering Committee for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology. Kary Mullis shared the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1993 for his work on the polymerase chain reaction technique. He is currently working on chemical methods to control and direct immune responses. Nanoscience is a very handy word for rather small things with a rather big impact. Why should we care about such small things? We may find properties that are useful for everyday life. For example, nanostructured surfaces that mimic lotus leaves are already used in cars, windows and so on, which means that they can be cleaned by the next shower of rain. Currently, anything on the nanoscale is called “nano” — be it chemical, medical, physical, biological or any other “cal”. I don’t expect the nano hype to last very long. It means too much and expectations are very high. More information and public discussion would sharpen the view on the opportunities and threats of this technology, and would facilitate a conscious decision about what research field and what nano products are appreciated by society. Elisabeth Schepers is in the department of museums education at the Deutsches Museum in Munich, where she has recently been working for the EU Nanodialogue project. Everyone has probably heard about Richard Feynman’s 1959 comments at the American Physical Society meeting at Caltech, often referred to as inspiring the beginnings of nanotechnology. The transcript of his talk published soon after, entitled There’s Plenty of Room at the Bottom, is an amazing J. GIMZEWSKI K. Eric Drexler wrote Nanosystems and Engines of Creation and is chief technical advisor to Nanorex. The ‘beads’ in the world’s smallest abacus are single C60 molecules. The converging interests of nanotechnology foresee the precise control of individual atoms or molecules, leading to an unprecedented ability to design material and device capabilities. One distinctive aspect of nanoscience is its preferential search for the systematic behaviour of individual atoms or molecules, rather than their ensemble averages. The significance of the dimension depends on the field, varying from a few nanometres to observe electronic or quantum effects to a few tens of nanometres for delivery properties of nanoparticles in biological systems. The parallel pursuit of technological advances has already generated a range of promising examples, such as conceptually new quantum devices, drug-delivery agents and novel materials. One should be aware that the viability of nanotechnology depends on its industrialization and commercialization. There is no doubt that the scientific nature nanotechnology | VOL 1 | OCTOBER 2006 | www.nature.com/naturenanotechnology ©2006 Nature Publishing Group In some sense we are labelling what we were already doing, except that now we can actually visualize the outcome of these actions and develop predictive rules that can be rigorously tested. An even more striking development is the ability to direct the assembly of atoms and molecules into new materials that were hitherto kinetically inaccessible, and to test their properties. But for me, the most fascinating aspects of nanoscience and nanotechnology are that properties on this length scale are exquisitely sensitive to the surrounding environment. Indeed, one could reasonably argue that it is meaningless to refer to the innate properties of nanoscale systems without due reference to the influence of environmental factors such as surface termination, substrate interactions and electrical and mechanical contacts. Although this sensitivity is a challenge for nanoscale materials processing, it brings with it the potential for unprecedented levels of control of material and device properties. John J. Boland is professor of chemistry and director of the Centre for Research on Adaptive Nanostructures and Nanodevices at Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland. Nanotechnology is concerned with work at the atomic, molecular and supramolecular levels in order to understand and create materials, devices and systems with fundamentally new properties and functions because of their small structure. I expect there will be many areas that nanotechnology will have an impact on in the next decade and beyond. We are examining the possibility that nanotechnology may lead to new drug-delivery systems, as well as new imaging and diagnostic systems. Particularly in drug delivery, the ability to create nanoparticles that can encapsulate drug molecules is very important, as their small size enables them to travel through the bloodstream and be taken up by specific cells where they can controllably release their cargo. 9 FEATURE and laboratories, I do hope that the poorest of the poor will benefit from the results of research in nanoscience and nanotechnology.

C. N. R. Rao is a national research professor and the honorary president of the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research, Bangalore, India. Actually, nanotechnology has been around for over a hundred years. Irving Langmuir was one of the first to truly develop the technology in the General Electric labs in the 1920s and 1930s. Nanoscience is a label given now to the new work emerging from the technology we have developed to manipulate, visualize and make atomic and molecular structures. It would have been called surface science in the 1960s and 1970s. In the immediate future, we will see incremental changes in materials for energy generation and storage, improved and safer cosmetics and other domestic products, and new methodologies for healthcare, water treatment and pollution control. The field has been evolving steadily, and the explosion of interest might lead to radically new applications in areas of molecular electronics and drug design and delivery in the next two decades. Peter Dobson of Oxford University has recently started two companies that use nanotechnology: Oxonica and Oxford Biosensors. 10 W. J. READY Certainly, I hope that nanoparticles will be useful in targeting drugs for cancer treatment and many other diseases in the years to come. Carbon nanotube ‘towers’ grown on a silicon substrate for applications in solar cells. Nanotechnology has created excitement amongst the young and a greater interest in science itself. This alone makes the subject important. Nanotechnology has created a kind of revolution in the physical sciences and engineering, somewhat comparable to what happened when high-temperature superconductivity was discovered in 1986. The difference is that this new area encompasses not only physics, chemistry, materials science and engineering, but also biology and medicine. A well-orchestrated plan in various laboratories and nations is likely to result in a worthwhile future. Coming to India, this subject has aroused great interest in the government and amongst the public, at a time when science had become somewhat unattractive. I want to be sure that the benefits of nanoscience reach all mankind. Although the research is being carried out in only a few countries At the nanoscale there is no difference between chemistry and physics, engineering, mathematics, biology or any subset thereof. An operational definition of nanotechnology involves three ingredients: (1) nanoscale sizes in the device or its crucial components; (2) the man-made nature; and (3) having properties that only arise because of the nanoscopic dimensions. In addition, I typically think that “it ain’t nano if you ain’t got the math to back it up” — we must be able to model or explain it. The great promise of nanotechnology may be the necessary focus on solving problems, rather than on academic distinctions and the setting of disciplinary fences to benefit ivory-tower dwellers. One of my interests — cancer nanotechnology — revolves around solving real cancer problems with really small tools. My bottom line, however, is that the field should worry less about self-serving definitions (including my own!), and more about how to be of true benefit to humankind.

The EICC is an incredible facility only rivaled by the Swiss RE compound outside of Zurich. The Institute of Nanotechnology (ION) was an incredible host and brought together some outstanding speakers and programs of all sorts. Unfortunately I missed the Monday workshops but got interviewed by Nanologue during the conference as part of their expert panels. Monday ended with a public debate on nanotechnology and healthcare which friends and colleagues reviewed well. On Tuesday the sessions began and some ran parallel to each other. Most of the day was dedicated to technical presentations except for a session on commercializing nanomedicine. Before many of the reforms discussed can have any recognizable impact on European society, the venture capital climate will need to be improved in the EU. The evening was dedicated to an outstanding poster session that topped any I've seen in years. Some of the research on health and toxicology going on around the world was outstanding. Wednesday involved a morning period of sessions on technical nanomedicine like convergence and its effects on medicine and health care and another on congenital and degenerative diseases. Both those were strong according to reports from friends and colleagues. The next set involved the session I was in and I led the group of four. I discussed two "gap" analyses done by me and others at South Carolina on toxicology and a second on communication of toxicology to the public. Joyce Tait discussed stakeholder engagement and we were followed by Volker Turk who covered the Nanologue project and Jennifer Palumbo who covered NanoDialogue, a fascinating science center initiative. There were four other sessions against ours. The evening included a reception at the Lord Provost's Offices at the Edinburgh City Chambers. While went on to hear the Cairngill Ceilidh Band and danced, I made my way to a pub with friends and we watches Scotland beat Norway and Northern Ireland beat England in soccer/football. On Thursday I went to a session on Nanoparticle Risk Assessment. Ken Donaldson gave a primer on risk assessment, Paul Borm discussed cardiovascular effects of translocation, and Rob Aitken http://www.nano.org.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?p=161&sid=eaf7a0b27c5a1aa33e0088d5eea14744 Pagina 1 van 2 Institute of Nanotechnology :: View topic - EuroNanoForum 2005 - Review 11-10-2006, 08:04 PM risk assessment, Paul Borm discussed cardiovascular effects of translocation, and Rob Aitken discussed exposure. The second group included Tilman Butz and Gunter Oberdorster discussing percutaneous uptake and CNS effects from inhalation respectively. The session was strong and during the post-session discussion Renzo Tomellini mentioned an initiative to pool toxicological information between the US, the EU, and others. Vicki Stone who was chairing the session mentioned the ICON database (http://icon.rice.edu/research.cfm). I serve on the advisory committee for ICON. In the afternoon, there was an interesting session involving Emilio Mordini on hopes, dreams and fairy tales and nano (incredibly entertaining), Donald Bruce from the Church of Scotland (much less entertaining) and Rogerio Gaspar (even less so). Then, Simone Scholze who was chairing the session starting talking and went on for 20 minutes. This session was troubling. I expected more the Dr. Bruce while he droned on in generalities. I expected much more from Dr. Gaspar who insulted the US NIH initiative as old stuff that had been accomplished in European labs years ago and repeated the mantra that nothing is new about nano as he banged away on the nationalist drum. Unfortunately, I had to leave on Friday, but I made great contacts, enjoyed myself, and learned a lot about what was transpiring in human and health and nanomedicine in Europe. I am not impressed by much but this conference was worth the travel. I also want to thank ION for inviting me. I was honored to be one of five Americans selected to participate. I hope to make next year's but that will depend on how our program is funded next year more than anything else. I am sure I will address this later but it seems that Washington is more interested in having social scientists and humanists move nanotechnology out of the lab and into commerce than they are at research that might conclude nanotechonlogy needs to be re-examined and the public deserves a legitimate role in policy making. Applauds to ION.

While products using nanotechnologies are already on the market, and they already have a growing public profile through science fiction, public awareness of its real economic and social potential is probably still quite low. Dialogue on the societal and ethical issues raised by N&N, between researchers, citizens, civil society and business stakeholders, is becoming indispensable to democratic policy decisions in this area. The European Commission is supporting specific actions to communicate N&N under the FP6 research work-programme in 'Nanotechnologies and nano-sciences, knowledge-based multifunctional materials and new production processes and devices' (NMP).

Dr Amodio addresses this by explaining, 'we will also discuss how to collect data from the public, but there are two probable main methods: a combination of multimedia interaction and direct experience in the museums, and involving the public in science shows and demonstrations'. These may be complemented by the use of websites and an experimental card game. The project will collect and analyse feedback from the workshop participants, in the exhibitions and via the website. The feedback will be used to formulate a series of recommendations to the European Commission on the 'governance' agenda in the European Research Area (ERA). The recommendations will be discussed in a final European conference gathering relevant experts, decision makers and stakeholders.

Un elemento che ha fortemente caratterizzato l’approccio della Commissione Europea nella stesura del Sesto Programma Quadro di Ricerca è stato quello del rapporto tra scienza e società, inteso – in primo luogo – come costruzione di un dialogo e come ascolto delle istanze, delle aspirazioni e (perché no) delle paure dei cittadini, in merito ai contenuti della ricerca scientifica e tecnologica, che sempre più impattano la vita quotidiana di ognuno, e alle Questa opzione, di forte significato politico, sostanziatasi in dispositivi ad hoc come il Programma “Scienza e Società”, attraversa trasversalmente tutti i programmi di ricerca, che prevedono azioni specifiche destinate alla costruzione di iniziative e progetti in tal senso. Quando poi, come nel caso delle nanotecnologie, il campo di ricerca è decisamente “di frontiera” e le cui potenziali applicazioni aprono scenari anche inquietanti (si pensi agli aspetti legati al controllo delle libertà personali o alle implicazioni sul terreno della salute e dell’inquinamento) costruire da subito terreni di confronto sociale appare addirittura prioritario. Come ci ricorda il “dilemma” dello studioso inglese David Collingridge, l’attenzione sociale verso una nuova tecnologia raggiunge di norma il suo punto più alto proprio quando – in termini di ricerca, sviluppo e applicazioni – i “giochi” sono fatti e, a quel punto, è a volte troppo tardi per intervenire e tutto ciò che rimane da fare è, ormai, prendere atto dell’impatto tecnologico.

Coordinato dalla Città della Scienza, il progetto vede come partner in primo luogo l’Associazione MQC2, la cui missione è appunto quella di far sì che la ricerca più avanzata, soprattutto nel campo delle scienze fisiche e della fisica della materia, ricada in termini positivi sulla società e sul sistema produttivo. Nell’ambito del progetto, MQC2 ha la leadership del Scientific Advisory Board internazionale che individuerà i principali contenuti – scientifici, tecnologici e industriali ma anche etici, sociali e legali – da tradurre in materiali espositivi per il grande pubblico e in temi di discussione per gruppi selezionati di leaders d’opinione. Il secondo gruppo di partner è quello dei science centres e dei musei europei.

Una mostra – che verrà prodotta in sette copie ed esposta nella varie istituzioni sopra citate (a Napoli in occasione di Futuro Remoto 2005) itinerando successivamente in altre capitali europee – costituirà lo spunto per informare, e quindi interrogare, il grande pubblico, raccogliendone la percezione di questa nuova tecnologia. In contemporanea con la mostra, presso queste stesse istituzioni, verranno organizzati incontri con leaders d’opinione, rappresentativi del mondo scientifico, industriale e politico, per saggiare – attraverso l’uso di metodologie partecipative – le attese e le prospettive dei principali stakeholders rispetto all’introduzione delle nanotecnologie e al loro impatto sulla società. Anche il web, naturalmente, giocherà un importante ruolo nel collazionare, attraverso polls e questionari, suggestioni, commenti, idee, senza confini di tipo geografico. I materiali raccolti attraverso questa “consultazione” saranno infine valutati e tradotti in raccomandazioni per la Commissione Europea da Città della Scienza con il supporto del Centre for the Study on Democracy dell’Università di Londra, luogo tra i più avanzati in Europa per lo studio delle dinamiche della partecipazione politica nelle società del capitalismo maturo. Questa, in estrema sintesi, l’architettura del progetto, il cui aspetto principale – lo ripetiamo – è nell’originale sintesi tra dimensione della ricerca scientifica e industriale, comunicazione al pubblico e ricerca sociale e nel riconoscimento – di cui va fatto merito alla DG Ricerca della Commissione Europea – del ruolo che istituzioni come Città della Scienza possono giocare per attivare uno sviluppo di qualità. Quello, cioè, di cui Napoli e il Mezzogiorno hanno urgente bisogno. * Direttore del Science Centre di Città della Scienza e responsabile del progetto NanoDialogue Sabato, 09 Ottobre "Log In" | Login/Crea Account | 0 commenti Limite 0 Concatenati Vecchi Prima Aggiorna Invia Commento I commenti sono di proprietà dell'inserzionista.

Medio ambiente Entrevistas RSS TECNOLOGÍA DE LA INFORMACIÓN Y LAS TELECOMUNICACIONES 4 de Julio de 2005 EL PROYECTO NANODIALOGUE PRETENDE CONSEGUIR LA PARTICIPACIÓN DEL PÚBLICO EN EL DEBATE SOBRE NANOTECNOLOGÍAS Y NANOCIENCIAS El desarrollo de las nanotecnologías y las nanociencias todavía está en una fase inicial, aunque se espera que, para 2010, el mercado de los productos basados en las nanotecnologías aumente en cientos de miles de millones de euros. Para suscitar el debate público sobre los avances de la investigación en este campo, se ha lanzado recientemente el proyecto NanoDialogue del VI Programa Marco de la Unión Europea. Cordis Noticias Aunque ya se encuentran en el mercado productos que utilizan las nanotecnologías, y son cada vez más conocidos por el público a través de la ciencia ficción, los ciudadanos todavía no son muy conscientes del verdadero potencial económico y social. El dialogo entre investigadores, ciudadanos, la sociedad civil e interlocutores de la industria sobre los temas sociales y éticos que plantean las nanotecnologías y las nanociencias, es cada vez más indispensable para tomar decisiones políticas democráticas en esta área. La Comisión Europea está llevando a cabo en la actualidad acciones específicas para difundir las nanotecnologías y las nanociencias dentro del programa de trabajo de investigación Nanotecnologías, materiales inteligentes y nuevos procedimientos de producción del VI Programa Marco. Una de éstas, el proyecto NanoDialogue, (Nanodialogue -Enhancing dialogue on Nanotechnologies and Nanosciences in society at European level One), ha sido dotado con un presupuesto de 850.000 euros. El doctor Luigi Amodio, coordinador del proyecto y director del centro científico de Nápoles, Città della Scienza, explicó a Noticias CORDIS que "los centros científicos son lugares donde precisamente se puede avanzar en estos temas. El modelo práctico constituirá una parte principal de la relación entre la ciencia y la sociedad en el futuro, junto con los centros científicos y las nuevas actividades como los "cafés científicos". Entre los socios del proyecto figuran ocho centros científicos de Europa, y ECSITE, la red europea de centros científicos y museos. Con el fin de dar cabida a las cuestiones relativas a la participación social, se ha incluido también en el consorcio del proyecto el Centre for Studies on Democracy, de la universidad de Westminster, en Reino Unido. El doctor Amodio enmarca la iniciativa en el contexto del reciente referéndum italiano sobre la investigación con células madre y su escaso nivel de participación. "La mayoría de las personas pueden comprender los argumentos culturales, políticos o religiosos, pero no tienen necesariamente las claves para comprender los aspectos científicos". La ciencia y la tecnología son vitales para la economía europea y, un mayor entendimiento acerca de éstas suele propiciar un mayor respaldo, según el doctor Amodio. Si la gente no comprende el papel de la ciencia y la tecnología no será, por lo tanto, capaz de dar su apoyo a las políticas adecuadas para el futuro. "Las personas tienen el derecho y el deber de conocer qué es lo que se cuece en los laboratorios europeos, para que puedan tomar decisiones conscientes sobre las actividades que deberían seguir recibiendo apoyo", declara el doctor Amodio, quien cree que, conforme aumentan las fuentes de información, se irá cada vez convirtiendo más en un deber. El proyecto, lanzado en marzo de 2005, se encuentra actualmente en proceso de elaborar un marco de canales básicos para la comunicación y el debate social sobre nanotecnologías y nanociencias. El proyecto se basa en una estrategia doble: por una parte, tiene el objetivo de comunicar los últimos avances en investigación en el campo de las nanotecnologías y las nanociencias al público en general y, por otro lado, intentará involucrar a los investigadores, la sociedad civil y los ciudadanos en un dialogo social sobre nanotecnologías y sus ciencias relacionadas. El dialogo servirá para que el proyecto identifique las principales cuestiones y preocupaciones de estos grupos en relación con las nanotecnologías. El proyecto NanoDialogue comenzó con un seminario, en junio de 2005, basado en la metodología de "juego de exhibición", con el objetivo de diseñar el contenido de los instrumentos de comunicación del proyecto. Entre estos figuran: siete módulos de exhibición interactiva, que incluyen exhibiciones prácticas; productos multimedia y educativos sobre nanotecnologías y nanociencias; y un sitio web para difundir la información y para recoger comentarios. El doctor Amodio explica que, "intentaremos abordar situaciones y aplicaciones de la vida real, como la salud, los nuevos materiales y el medio ambiente. Esto acercará más las tecnologías a las personas en sus vidas diarias". Los módulos de exhibición se expondrán en los ocho países participantes durante al menos seis meses, a partir de febrero de 2006. De forma paralela, se organizarán una serie de manifestaciones locales, demostraciones científicas y debates con el fin de lograr la participación de los ciudadanos. Una vez concluido el proyecto, a finales de febrero de 2007, los módulos de exhibición se mostrarán en otros lugares como Bélgica, Estonia, Francia, Alemania, Portugal, España y Suecia.

El doctor Amodio planteó esta cuestión y explicó que "debatiremos también cómo obtener datos de los ciudadanos, si bien hay dos métodos principales probables: la combinación de interacciones con herramientas multimedia y la experiencia directa que aportan los museos, y hacer que el público participe en las exposiciones y demostraciones científicas". A esto podría añadirse el uso de las páginas web y un juego de cartas experimental. El proyecto recogerá y analizará los comentarios de los participantes en el seminario, las exhibiciones y a través de la página web. Los comentarios se utilizarán para formular una serie de recomendaciones a la Comisión Europea sobre la agenda para la "gobernanza" del espacio europeo de investigación. Las recomendaciones se debatirán en una conferencia final europea que reunirá a importantes expertos, responsables políticos e interlocutores.

To foster public debate, the NanoDialogue project was launched under the European Union's Sixth Framework Programme, with a budget of 850,000 euro. The project partners include eight science centres around Europe, as well as ECSITE, the European Network of Science Centres and Museums. The project consortium also includes the Centre for Studies on Democracy at the University of Westminster in the UK. NanoDialogue began with a workshop, held in June 2005, based on the 'exhibition game' methodology, to design the content of the project's communication instruments. The exhibition will be shown in the eight participating countries over the course of at least six months, starting in February 2006. Simultaneously, a series of locally organised events, science demonstrations and debates will be organised. <http://ica.cordis.lu/search/?fuseaction=news.simpledocument&N_RCN=24075>Cordis fact sheet <http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn?pagename=article&node=&contentId=A489252002Nov27¬Found=true>Washington Post editorial review of ‘’Prey’’ Mis en ligne le 23 août 2005 Scientific schools supported by the GDRE Cargese 2006 General Publisher: Annick Loiseau ©GDRE 2756 Webmaster: J-C Ricquier | Site Map | Information and copyright | Contact Us | ©2005 GDRE 2756 may 2005 http://www.cnrs-imn.fr/GDRE_NanoE/Niouz/PBN27.htm Pagina 1 van 2 Kultuur.info 24. august 2006, 17:00 Tartumaa, Tartu 11-10-2006, 08:32 PM Teema: kõik teemad Teeme tutvust nanotehnoloogiaga Populaarteaduslik seminar, kus antakse lihtsas keeles ülevaade nanotehnoloogia olemusest ja selle keeruka tehnoloogia kasutusaladest.

Nanotechnology under debate” 2/10/2006 EXPONANO “Smaller than small. Nanotechnology under debate” is the title of an exhibition that will be opened on 3 October at 18.30h in the “Pau Gargallo” Hall of the faculties of Chemistry and Physics of the Universitat de Barcelona (University of Barcelona) (Av. Diagonal, 647). The exhibition, which will be open daily to the public from 10 to 14 h and from 16 to 20h from 4 October until 15 December seeks to provide information and stimulate debate about nanotechnology and its application in our everyday lives. The exhibition forms part of the European project called Nanodialogue, which involves nine EU countries, namely Italy, France, Estonia, Belgium, Germany, UK, Sweden, Portugal and Spain, the latter participating through the Parc Científic de Barcelona (PCB, Barcelona Science Park). These countries have developed EXPONANO which, in addition to scientific information, presents the opinions of several fields and addresses the concerns of the public at large. The Catalan version of the exhibition is funded through a grant from the Ministry of Education and Science and comprises an action item of the «Research in Society Programme» of the PCB. To extend debate on this subject, presentations will be organized for the general public in order to register the opinions expressed by distinct sectors of society. The local results obtained will be presented at the faculties of Chemistry and Physics during December, and results obtained in the diverse participant countries will be shown in a conference to be held in February 2007 in Brussels.

Nanotechnology is already starting to deliver significant benefits in new or improved consumer products – but there is also widespread concern that it involves new risks. Public engagement and understanding is essential for nanotechnology’s acceptance, market potential and political governance. The workshop, which took place at the Communicating European Research 2005 conference in Brussels, set out to explore the challenges of communicating nanoscience to the general public. It examined its novelty, its ethical, legal and social aspects, and the similarities and differences between the debate on nanotechnology and those surrounding other new technologies such as GMOs. David Bennett presented NanoBio-RAISE, which is identifying lessons that can be learned from the GMO debate; Guglielmo Maglio of NanoDialogue described the project’s development of an integrated process for social debate of issues and expectations; and Nanologue’s Volker Türk outlined the ethical, legal and social questions raised by the new technology. Introductory presentations by Richard Hayhurst (4bio) and Wolfgang Heckl (Deutsches Museum) highlighted the importance of communicating nanotechnology from the perspectives of the journalist and the nanoscientist. The presentations were followed by a lively debate moderated by Richard Hayhurst, and conference participants subsequently voted the session the event’s best forum session, winning the presenters an award presented by Director-General for Research, Achilleas Mitsos.

ESOF2006 participants will also be able to learn more about the forthcoming ERAWATCH service, a European web-based platform which will gather information and data on national and regional research policies, actors, organisations and programmes. Data will be accessed on a country as well as at an aggregate EU level, and users will be able to customise the way data is presented and downloaded. The new service will cover the 25 Member States of the European Union, countries associated to the European Community's Research Framework Programme, and for comparative purposes China, Japan and USA. ERAWATCH is targeted at those interested and active in research policy making in Europe, for example decision makers, policy analysts, researchers, NGOs. It is developed jointly by the European Commission's Directorate-General for Research and the Joint Research Centre's Institute for Prospective Technological Studies, in collaboration with CORDIS, the official online research information service of the EU's Publications Office. For more information on ERAWATCH, ESOF2006 participants may visit the partners' stands, all present at the EU exhibition area.

CIPAST has been awarded financial support by the European Commission through the contract No. 013518 in the framework of “Coordination Action”; programme “Structuring the European Research Area” No.1 - October 2005 I have the great pleasure to announce that the CIPAST platform has been launched. At time of high science and technology issues, it is essential to include civil society in the debates. Citizen participation has considerably evolved during the last decade. Bringing the actors together within the CIPAST platform will provide an opportunity to foster the emergence of an European culture of participatory democracy in scientific and technological issues. The CIPAST newsletter provides news, on a three month basis, on the situation of participatory procedures in Europe, news about the project and its members and provides links to useful electronic and print resources aimed at strengthening civil society in Europe. The CIPAST platform is a participation project, any contribution is welcome. Please feel free to criticise but also to contribute, by sending news, events, short reports or experiences from your special field of work. Roland Schaer, CIPAST project coordinator Partnerships and Public Participation The regulation of scientific-technological innovation becomes more and more hazardous for decision makers. Taking genetic modified organisms, nanotechnology or intensive care medicine as examples: Will the political, economic or social consequences of todays decisions be justified in 10 or 20 years? What if the decisions have been wrong? New governance strategies are based on a principle of partnership between the state, experts, stake-holder interests and citizens. Partnership brings more different values and knowledge to solve problems. The CIPAST platform, a three years project, coordinated by Cité des sciences et de l’industrie, Paris, aims at bringing together different families of experienced actors from organisations with significant experiences in the use of participatory procedures in scientific and technological issues. Twelve organisations from seven countries cooperate to achieve and encourage improved knowledge and experience transfer between European actors and decision-makers involved in participatory initiatives by structuring a network, disseminating good practices and circulating relevant information. Setting up a training program Experience in public participation has reached a critical mass. Organisational learning, dissemination of good practices across institutions and countries, as well as critical self-reflection are now to be achieved among practitioners and users of participatory methods & procedures. The CIPAST work programme will foster the transfer of expertise through the implementation of training programmes for the three identified contexts of decision: “upstream”, “regulation” and “social diffusion”. A corpus of training tools, based on case-studies and tested in training sessions, will be developed for the pragmatic needs of the potential users. More about CIPAST at www.cipast.org Newsletter No.1 - October 2005 NanoDialogue Project to engage the public in a debate on nanotechnologies and nanosciences The development of nanotechnologies and nanosciences (N&N) is still at an early stage, but the market for nanotechnology-based products is expected to rise to hundreds of billions of euro by 2010. NanoDialogue is a recently launched project to foster public debate on the developments of research in this field. Products using nanotechnologies are already on the market, and they already have a growing public profile but public awareness of its real economic and social potential is probably still quite low. Citizens do have a right to know what is going on in European laboratories. Science and technology are vital to the European economy, and increased understanding will finally lead to increased support. But if citizens don’t understand the role of science and technology in a modern society then they will not be able to support the right policies for the future or to make justified decisions on what work should be continued or further supported. Dialogue on the societal and ethical issues raised by N&N, between researchers, citizens, civil society and business stakeholders, is becoming indispensable to democratic policy decisions in this area. The NanoDialogue project, launched in March 2005 under the European Union’s Sixth Framework Programme (FP6) and coordinated by the Naples science centre, the Città della Scienza, is currently in the process of developing a framework of basic channels for communication and social debate on N&N. The project is based on a two-fold strategy: on the one hand, it aims to communicate the latest research developments in the N&N field to the general public, on the other, it will try to engage researchers, civil society and citizens in a social dialogue on nanotechnologies and their related sciences. This dialogue will help the project to identify the main issues and preoccupations of these groups concerning nanotechnologies. The project partners include eight science centres around Europe, as well as ECSITE, the European Network of Science Centres and Museums. In order to include issues of social participation, the project consortium also includes the Centre for Studies on Democracy at the University of Westminster in the UK. NanoDialogue began with a workshop, held in June 2005, based on the ‘exhibition game’ methodology, to design the content of the project’s communication instruments. These include: seven interactive exhibition modules including hands-on exhibits; multimedia and educational products on N&N; and a website for disseminating information and for collecting feedback. The exhibition modules will be shown in the eight participating countries over the course of at least six months, starting in February 2006. Simultaneously, a series of locally organised events, science demonstrations and debates will be organised to further engage citizens. Once the project is completed, at the end of February 2007, the exhibition modules will be shown elsewhere in the participating countries (Belgium, Estonia, France, Germany, Portugal, Spain and Sweden). Dr Luigi Amodio, project coordinator and Director of the Naples science centre, sets the initiative in the context of the recent Italian referendum on stem cell research and its poor level of participation. “Most people can understand cultural, political or religious arguments, but don’t necessarily have the tools to understand scientific aspects,” he told CORDIS News and went on: “Science centres are natural places to work on such topics. The hands-on model will be a major part of the relationship between science and society in future, along with science centres and new activities such as science cafés.” As was noted at the European Commission’s Science in Society Forum in Brussels in April, there is more and more emphasis on two-way dialogue in science communication. The NanoDialogue project therefore will discuss how to collect data from the public, but as Dr. Amodio explains there are two probable main methods: a combination of multimedia interaction and direct experience in the museums, and involving the public in science shows and demonstrations. These may be complemented by the use of websites. The project will collect and analyse feedback from the workshop participants, in the exhibitions and via the website. The feedback will be used to formulate a series of recommendations to the European Commission on the ‘governance’ agenda in the European Research Area (ERA). The recommendations will be discussed in a final European conference gathering relevant experts, decision makers and stakeholders. http://www.nanodialogue.org/ Information on this and other N&N projects funded under FP6 can be found at: http://www.cordis.lu/ nanotechnology/src/pressroom_projects.htm - Culture scientifique et technique 11-10-2006, 08:02 PM Aug 2006 Jul 2006 Jun 2006 May 2006 Apr 2006 Mar 2006 Feb 2006 Jan 2006 Dec 2005 Nov 2005 Oct 2005 Mad Maths au Coleo (Pontcharra) 30/09/06 22:40 vendredi 20 octobre 20h30 , séance scolaire 14h30 Plus d'infos : Sur le site du coleo… Télécharger de dossier de présentation… Lectures de sciences : « L’Homme réparé » 30/09/06 10:39 http://www.ac-grenoble.fr/action.culturelle/DAAC/actuscience/index.html Pagina 1 van 9 - Culture scientifique et technique 11-10-2006, 08:02 PM Les 12, 13 et 14 octobre 2006, l’Université Joseph Fourier, l’Université Stendhal et Grenoble Universités organisent en partenariat avec Lieux-dits et Lire en Fête, des lectures-spectacle sur le thème de l’Homme réparé. Depuis toujours, l’interrogation sur le corps et son devenir a été un thème d'écriture et un carrefour de rencontre des imaginaires. L’Homme réparé se rapproche de ces hommes du futur imaginés par les scientifiques ou les romanciers et cette perspective pose aux scientifiques, comme aux citoyens ordinaires bon nombre d’interrogations éthiques et morales. Si nous pourrons dans un futur proche réparer la mécanique du corps, saurons-nous aussi réparer les psychés blessées, les souffrances mentales ? Des textes de Marie Shelley, Antonin Arthaud, Francis Hopstein, Luigi Pirandello, Vincent Gilbert, et Gisèle Prassimos seront lus par Bruno Riner et Michel Ferber de la compagnie Anagramme. Ces lectures-spectacles seront complétées par un échange avec : - Christian Abry, professeur à l'Université Stendhal, les 12 et 14 octobre - Antoine Depaulis, biologiste, chercheur Inserm en neurosciences, le 13 octobre - Laurent Vercueil, neurologue, praticien hospitalier au CHU de Grenoble, le 13 octobre.

Les nanotechnologies aujourd’hui Portées par une dynamique issue des sciences appliquées et sciences de l’ingénieur, fortement soutenue par les politiques publiques de recherche, les « nanotechnologies » et « nanosciences » font aujourd’hui figure de nouvelles « nouvelles technologies ». Pourtant, sans beaucoup d’application à ce jour, sans avoir encore crée emploi, ni entreprise spécialisée, sans beaucoup d’information diffusée par les média généralistes, ces nanotechnologies soulèvent déjà suspicion, oppositions et craintes. ___________________________ mémo : à l’échelle des nanos 1 nanomètre = 10-9 mètre, Si l’on considère que 1 nanomètre équivaut à 1 cm, un cheveu serait alors approximativement de la ! taille des Champs Elysées. """ """ ___________________________ # """ """ $ """ %& " ' Instaurer un dialogue social autour des nanotechnologies Le module d’exposition itinérant « Nanodialogue » vise à diffuser des informations et favoriser la prise de conscience du grand public sur les derniers développements scientifiques, technologiques et industriels dans le domaine des nanotechnologies. L’objectif est d’instaurer un dialogue social entre la communauté des chercheurs, les citoyens et d'autres acteurs sociaux, afin d'identifier leurs principales attentes et leurs espoirs. Parmi les résultats prévus, il y a la diffusion à la Commission Européenne et aux experts de recommandations, illustrant les principales préoccupations sociales concernant les nanotechnologies et les nanosciences. Communiqué de presse _ Exposition Nanodialogue _ 2006 Un dialogue européen Le projet s’articule autour de la production d’un module d'exposition, accessible à tous dès la 4ème, comprenant des outils spécifiques pour recueillir des données sur les opinions des citoyens européens. Ce module sera traduit et dupliqué en 8 exemplaires, qui seront présentés en parallèle dans 8 pays européens : l’Allemagne, la Belgique, l’Espagne, l’Estonie, la France, l’Italie, le Portugal et la Suède, pendant 6 mois. Ces modules pourront être présentés seuls, ou enrichis avec d’autres éléments d’exposition produits indépendamment par chaque pays. La présentation des 8 modules identiques sera accompagnée de conférences publiques, rencontres citoyennes, conférence de consensus pour les pays Nordiques, ce qui donnera la possibilité de faire « remonter » des recommandations finales des citoyens d’Europe à la Commission européenne. Celles-ci seront présentées et discutées dans une grande conférence européenne destinée aux experts, aux décideurs et aux représentants associatifs (consommateurs, patients, environnement, etc.), fin 2007. Les institutions partenaires Ce projet est piloté par la Citta’Della Scienza de Naples (www.cittadellascienza.it/). Les 7 autres structures de culture scientifique sont les suivantes : Allemagne : Deutsches Museum, Munich, www.deutsches-museum.de Belgique : Technopolis, Mechelen, www.technopolis.be Estonie : AHHAA Science Centre, Tallin, www.ahhaa.ee Espagne : Parc Scientifique de Barcelone, www.pcb.ub.es France : CCSTI Grenoble, www.ccsti-grenoble.org Portugal : Pavilhão do Conhecimento, Lisbonne, www.pavconhecimento.pt. Suède : Universeum, Göteborg, www.universeum.se Nanodialogue : les contenus L’exposition se découpe en 7 sections apportant chacune un regard particulier et complémentaire sur la thématique. Imaginaire et réalité : Le visiteur est introduit dans le nanomonde par l’intermédiaire d’images familières présentes dans les films, les bandes dessinées et les nouvelles de Sciences Fictions. Communiqué de presse _ Exposition Nanodialogue _ 2006 Chacune de ces images est reliée à une application, réelle afin de connecter le fantasme à l’actualité de la recherche. Par exemple au coté de l’image dépeignant un nanorobot nettoyant une artère, le public trouvera une image des nanocapsules pour médicament dans leur présentation actuelle et future. L’histoire contée : Un personnage de roman va raconter l’histoire des nanotechnologies à travers notamment des photographies des scientifiques y ayant contribué ainsi que les images des objets symboliques tels que les nanotubes de carbone… Dans le nanomonde : Dans cette partie, il sera présenté au public les notions d’échelles ainsi que les règles propres au monde nanoscopique. Nous verrons également une présentation des propriétés nanoscopiques (magnétique, optique…..) qui nous permettent de concevoir des nanomatériaux étonnants. Tranches de vie : Une succession de commentaires, remarques et notes, de personnalités ou d’anonymes présenteront les influences qu’ont eues les nanotechnologies dans leur vie quotidienne. Applications : Le module présentera ici diverses applications, dans les champs les plus variés. Présentation vidéo : Un film de 10 min présentera la recherche scientifique dans les nanotechnologies. Votre opinion : Cette partie se concentre sur la perception et les points de vue du public européen. Une borne multimédia reliée au site web Nanodialogue, permettra au public d’émettre une opinion, consulter les commentaires précédents et accéder à des compléments d’information.

No melhor pano já não cai a nódoa... É que a indústria têxtil está a produzir novos tecidos, tratados com partículas um milhão de vezes mais pequenas que o milímetro, que repelem a sujidade, mantêm as bactérias à distância ou que permanecem perfumados após múltiplas lavagens. Como irá a Nanotecnologia mudar as nossas vidas? Qual a participação portuguesa nesta área em desenvolvimento? NanoDiálogo é o tema desta exposição que abre hoje, pelas 16 horas e conta com a participação de investigadores portugueses.
