Final documents now available

The final documents from the NanoCode Project are now available online. These comprise:

- NanoCode’s recommendations to the European Commission on the key issues and way forward with the EC code of conduct (EC CoC) for responsible nanotechnologies research (the MasterPlan)
- the finalised CodeMeter electronic self-assessment and learning tool based on the EC CoC’s principles and values;
- a report on the concepts, objectives and application of the CodeMeter, including (annex) additional information on the criteria incorporated into the CodeMeter
-  The Project Newsletters, summarising all activities of the project, including the last step of Nanocode:the final national conferences held in the 11 partners’ countries.

In its 2 years of activity, the project supported, through a detailed analysis, wide stakeholders’ consultation and a number of dissemination actions:

• Increasing of knowledge about the Code of Conduct to the wide community of nanotechnology and emerging technologies stakeholders
• Gathering of a number of precise inputs and recommendations for the further articulation, implementation and extension of the Code of Conduct, at national, EU level and international level.
• Raising awareness on the Code of Conduct and toward a responsible research and innovation of emerging technologies in general.

It is envisaged that final outcomes of the project will be a rich resource for all parties involved in
both nanotechnology research and in responsible innovation in general, and will provide a firm basis for ongoing initiatives and discussions on these topics.
