摘要
Nanotechnology is entering a phase where the involvement of the public is becoming crucial in terms of public acceptance, market potential and political governance. This chapter reviews the issues involved in communicating about nanotechnology with the broader public: its novelty, ethical, legal and social aspects, and comparison with debates surrounding other new technologies such as genetic modification. It also covers ongoing activities, best practices and further research needs. The chapter also presents three projects currently funded by the European Commission in this area: NanoDialogue, Nanologue and Nanobio-RAISE
