NANOTECHNOLOGY AND PEOPLE

17 - 18 September

Chairs: Sara HEJAZI & Massimo BERSANI, FBK
In collaboration with
fbk foundation

The Organizing Committee of Nanoinnovation 2025 is delighted to announce a dedicated panel titled "Nanotechnology and People", exploring the intersection of nanotechnology, society, and philosophy. This panel aims to create a vibrant interdisciplinary dialogue among philosophers of science, social scientists, and hard scientists reflecting on the broader implications of their research in nanotechnology and nanoinnovation.

Scope of the Panel
Nanotechnology continues to shape transformative advances in medicine, materials, energy, and beyond. Yet, its societal, ethical, and philosophical dimensions remain underexplored. This panel invites contributions that address the human aspects of nanotechnology:
- How do nanotechnologies impact society, ethics, and the environment?
- What philosophical insights can enrich our understanding of nanoscience and its methodologies?
- How do researchers in hard sciences reflect on the ethical and societal consequences of their work?
- What role do interdisciplinary collaborations play in fostering responsible innovation in nanotechnology?
- How can nanotechnologies better integrate with societal needs and values?

We seek to bring together scholars and practitioners from diverse fields to discuss these questions, fostering dialogue and generating novel perspectives on nanotechnology's role in shaping our shared future.

Topics of Interest:
We welcome submissions on (but not limited to):
- Ethical implications of nanotechnologies in medicine, industry, and the environment.
- Philosophical reflections on the methodologies and epistemologies of nanoscience.
- Case studies of interdisciplinary collaborations involving nanotechnology.
- Governance, regulation, and societal acceptance of nanotechnologies.
- Public understanding and engagement with nanotechnology innovation.
- Reflections from hard scientists on the broader impacts of their research.

Join us in exploring the profound connections between nanotechnology and humanity at Nanoinnovation 2025 in Rome. Let’s shape the future of nanoinnovation together!
