4th FramingNano Newsletter published
The FramingNano Project Consortium has published the fourth FramingNano project newsletter which summarises interesting developments in the area of the governance of nanotechnologies and also announces the FramingNano Conference which will take place on December 15th, 2009 at the Sheraton Brussels Airport Hotel to present and discuss the upcoming Governance Plan.
The FramingNano Newsletter is a quarterly news service provided within the activities of the FramingNano project and diffused extensively across Europe and beyond, in order to disseminate information on the project, and on risk-benefit assessment and NS&T governance and regulation themes.
The goal of FramingNano is to craft a proposal for a 'Governance Plan/Platform' defining practicable regulatory solutions assuring that the development of nanotechnology takes place responsibly and to the benefit of the individuals and the society which is expected to emerge from the project towards the end of 2009.
In order to discuss the upcoming FramingNano Governance Plan, there will be an International Conference on December 15th, 2009, in Brussels, Belgium:
International Conference: “A New Governance Framework for Nanotechnologies”
This key Conference will provide all interested stakeholders with the opportunity to learn first-hand about the draft nanotechnology governance plan proposed by the FramingNano FP7 Project and to influence its finalization and publication. A must-attend for all interested in nanotechnology governance.
