Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies
The Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies was established in 2005 as a partnership between the
The project's stated goal was "to inform the debate and to create an active public and policy dialogue. It was not an advocate either for, or against, particular nanotechnologies. Rather, the Project sought to ensure that as these technologies are developed, potential human health and environmental risks were anticipated, properly understood, and effectively managed."[2]
Publications
They have produced many publications on the various aspects of nanotechnology policy. One of the notable reports is on Managing the Effects of Nanotechnology[4], written by J. Clarence (Terry) Davies in 2006.[3] They also maintain several online databases including the widely cited consumer products inventory, the Nanotechnology Health and Environmental Implications: An inventory of current research[4][5][6] as well as a series of PEN Reports[dead link]. Their work has also been published in academic journals such as Nature Nanotechnology.[7]
A major activity of the Project was testimony on public forums.[8][9][7]
