The objective of the project is to build a deliberative process involving key nanotechnology stakeholders. The aim of this process is to track the development of nanotechnology and to inform its associated governance and regulation (as enacted by the European Commission, EU policy makers and other involved stakeholders) through the design of a model that ensures that such development takes place responsibly and to the benefit of both individuals and society.

A debate at European level amongst the scientific, institutional and industrial communities, and also the broader public, will be enacted through a variety of instruments to generate a proposal for a Governance Plan with actions and recommendations at different levels.
