Nanotechnology beyond science


Objectives Date Registration Location


 Objectives

Review the aspects of nanotechnology not directly related to science or its applications, like job security when working with nanoparticles and the ethical and social aspects of this branch of science. The workshop will also deal with the current rules of nanosecurity in consumer products, which are expected to involve specific regulations for all industries.

As a complement to the workshop, it will be possible to work with nanocharacterization techniques used in research and focused, in this case, in nanosecurity of industrials processes.

 Date

February 29, 2016 from 9:30h to 17:00h.
