Series of focus group discussions with pupils/young people on the opportunities and risks of nanomaterials for the environment as part of the DaNa project (collection, evaluation and broad-based presentation of socially relevant data and findings on nanomaterials)
The student focus group events take place as part of the DaNa project – “Collection, evaluation and broad-based presentation of socially relevant data and findings on nanomaterials”. The aim of the DaNa project is to collect the scientific results from current and future publicly funded projects in the field of research and risk research on nanotechnology and to present them in a comprehensive but easily understandable way. The NanoCare and NanoNature projects are among the most important ongoing research projects in this area. In addition to UfU, the project consortium includes the German Society for Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology (DECHEMA), the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), the Helmholtz Center for Environmental Research GmbH – UFZ, the Fraunhofer Institute for Ceramic Technologies and Systems Dresden (Fraunhofer IKTS) and the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Testing and Research (EMPA).
