The Social Inclusion and Engagement Workshop was held on December 1, 2008. Hosted by the Australian Office of Nanotechnology, the workshop focused on social inclusion and stakeholder engagement. Forty-five representatives from government, industry, researchers, community agencies, and change agents attended with the goal of ensuring that nanotechnology developments incorporate feedback from all stakeholders (those affected directly or indirectly by nanotechnology). All groups involved agreed that more communication was needed between government, industry, researchers, and the public.
