Purpose of the theme

The National Science Agenda (NWA) points out the need to better anticipate the consequences of new technology for society, especially for healthcare, where there is an urgent need for affordable improvements. The theme focuses on this need in the context of nanomedicine. This is done by developing this emerging technology and by initiating a broad social dialogue about its acceptable application.

Consortia should focus on one or more of the following three focus areas, combining nanotechnology research with proactively engaging society through upstream public engagement.
