11 February 2010: Royal College of Physicians, London, UK Albert Franks Memorial Lecture - Clean Mobility: Enabling Technologies
6.30pm - 8.00pm (Drinks reception 5.30 pm) Speaker: Pietro Perlo Electrified mobility is currently a top priority in the US, Japan, China, Korea and EU. It will introduce a radical industrial-economical-energetic change in our society, as new technologies and infrastructure are put in place over the next two decades. Nanotechnology plays a crucial role towards the design and manufacturing of new materials for energy storage, light weight structures and efficient motors thus enabling the spread of a clean and efficient mobility. |

23 February 2010 - 16.30 – 18.00 GMT: NH Carlton Amsterdam Hotel, Amsterdam,Netherlands Attendance at this event is free As for nanotechnology generally, the promises of nanomedicine are high. Non-invasive and hyper-effective treatments, early diagnosis, curing cancer and neurodegenerative diseases, aging without loss of capacity: it is often deemed that nanomedicine should lead us to a world alleviated from disease, where human life would last longer or even become, technically speaking, endless. Further, the boundary will probably be blurred between the use of nanomedicine as therapy and as an enhancing technique; some venture that nanomedicine paves the way to a dramatic re-engineering of the human nature. But nanomedicine also elicits fears. It is not immune from risk, since the toxicity of many nanopharmaceuticals and nanomaterials is not yet well known, and we won’t be able to fully assess their side-effects before years. Nanomedical treatments and diagnosis may also strengthen social inequality or cause new kinds of injustice, since nanomedicine will most likely first become available to privileged citizens in a small number of countries. With the prospect of very early diagnosis, nanomedicine may also change the relationship between patient and therapist, shifting the responsibility for diagnosis and the decision to engage into treatment from the specialist to the patient himself. If cancer, for one, can be diagnosed on a very fine scale, how many cells should be diagnosed cancerous before the patient would be declared sick? Will illness remain an objective notion immune to panic and individual psychological bias? Futuristic visions associated with nanomedicine (e.g., see illustration above*) are often disconnected from actual research and short-term industrial applications. Still, they inspire the public, provoke emotional response, and frame our thinking about technology. A deeper reflection is necessary to draw apart the unreasonable hype from the fiction which merits a critical but serious analysis. Building on the ongoing work at the CEA-Larsim on the social and ethical dimensions of nanotechnotogy, (Toolkit for Ethical Reflection and Communication on Nanotechnology for EC project ObservatoryNano), this workshop will clarify some of the ethical issues raised by nanomedicine and provide tools for further analysis. We shall seek to engage the audience in a debate using problems and concepts from ethical theory as well as some instructive case studies. |

4 March 2010: National Physical Laboratory, Teddington, UK Applications of Micro and Nanosensors in Security, Health and Environmental Monitoring
The industrial and research role of sensors and associated instrumentation technologies has never been greater. However, industry demands are increasingly stringent and sophisticated, requiring innovative development of sensor technology. Nanotechnology can drive the advances needed to achieve these market demands. Novel tools, techniques and materials mean that the next generation of sensors will be smaller, more sensitive, more specific, and consume less power. Micro and Nano Sensors Interest Group (MiNSIG) of the Sensors & Instrumentation KTN is organising its first meeting, which will be held on the 4th of March at the National Physical Laboratory, Teddington, UK. The one-day conference and exhibition titled 'Applications of Micro and Nanosensors in Security, Health and Environmental Monitoring' will showcase novel sensing technologies developed by UK companies and Universities leading to new applications in Security, Health and the Environmental Monitoring. |
