ELSA Research - NANO Ethics
One of SVT's research areas was nano ethics, or more precisely: ethical and societal aspects of nanotechnology.
Main content
Nanoethics was one of the four thematic areas for UiB's efforts within nanotechnology and SVT was responsible for teaching nano-ethics within UiB's programmes in nanoscience.
The term nanotechnology refers to a range of different technologies where essential components or processes occur on the nano-meter scale. A series of important components in nature, for example atoms, viruses and cell nuclei, are found precisely in this size range. Because nano refers to just a scale length, there are a number of very different projects, products and applications that go under the label nanoscience and nanotechnology.
These diverse projects and applications can make visible new aspects of, or blow new life into, already existing debates about science and technology and how they interact with society. For example, some individuals experience some of the developing traits of nanoscience and nanotechnology as problematical, negative, ambiguous or uncomfortable, while others perhaps experience the degree and speed of change as uncomfortable or problematic. When we work with nano-ethics, we are involved in illuminating the positive, negative, ambiguous and unpredictable aspects of the development of nanoscience and nanotechnology.
Post-doctor Fern Wickson and research assistant Kamilla Kjølberg worked full-time in this research area from 2007-2009. Research fellow Kamilla Kjølberg is affiliated with this project from 2006-2010. Other collaborators are Roger Strand (Project Leader), Ana Delgado, Kjetil Rommetveit and Matthias Kaiser.
Projects
The research area was organized into separate research projects, the two most important are:
- Interdisciplinary studies of the ethical and societal implications of nanotechnology - funded by the NFR
- Development of a Platform for Deliberative Processes on Nanotechnology in the European Consumer Market (NANOPLAT) - funded by EU's framework program FP7
