News detail

On 7th February 2008 the European Commission adopted a Recommendation on a Code of Conduct for Responsible Nanosciences and Nanotechnologies Research. This recommendation was followed on 26th September 2008 by Council Conclusions on Responsible Nanosciences and Nanotechnologies. Both documents suggested that the Commission Recommendation and the Code of Conduct should be revised after two years. Therefore, in view of the said revision, planned for February 2010, the Commission is opening a new public consultation in order to receive new inputs from all people and organisations involved or interested by Nanosciences and Nanotechnologies research in Europe.

You may access the consultation at: http://ec.europa.eu/research/consultations/nano-code/consultation_en.htm

The consultation will be open until Sunday 3 January 2010.
