| Summary: |
This paper presents the results from the Nanologue projects second phase: the engagement and dialogue on the societal benefits and risks of nanotechnology (NT) applications with representatives from research and civil society. Building upon the first project findings, it aims at establishing a deeper understanding on the ethical, legal and social (ELS) benefits and risks of NT-applications in the view of civil society and researchers. Using interviews and stakeholder workshops the main objectives were to engage with representatives from research and development of NT, interview the societal groups engaged in this project phase in order to further develop and substantiate the benefits and potential impacts of NT (identified in the first project phase), to facilitate the process of prioritizing the benefits and potential impacts identified, and to contribute to the development of the subsequent project work such scenarios exploring how business, civil society and public institutions can engage effectively in a dialogue on the ethical, social and legal aspects of NT. |

| Summary: |
This pamphlet is a result of the Nanologue project, an 18-month European Commission-funded project designed to support dialogue on the social, ethical and legal implications of nanoscience and nanotechnologies. The aims of this pamphlet are four-fold: to disseminate a brief summary of the findings from the Nanologue project, to provide a very short introduction to some of the risks and opportunities presented by nanotechnology, to explore three possible futures in the development of nanotechnology, and to discuss how dialogue can be used as part of a process to ensure that society maximizes the benefits from nanotechnologies and minimizes the risks.
