|
In:
Forschen für die Praxis
|
|
As part of the EU-sponsored project Nanologue, triple innova has published the NanoMeter, an Internet-based instrument for self-evaluation. It allows developers of nano-products to assess their products’ impact on central aspects of society, in the ideal case in an early stage of development. Topics as the societal relevance of the products, health and environment-related questions, aspects of privacy, product responsibility or transparency may be essential to the economic success of applications, as they are potentially able to influence public acceptance of a product. The conclusion of the NanoMeter is in the form of an evaluation summarising the results and comments, which then could act as a basis for discussion within the company.
