Royal Institute for British Architects (RIBA), will be held on 7 May 2008 at 66 Portland Place, London.
Bringing Nanotechnology Products to Market - how to engender public confidence and exceed the requirements of regulators.
Negative public perceptions and the possibility of a potentially inappropriate regulatory framework could be serious barriers for UK companies in adopting nanotechnology, and may act as a brake on UK competitiveness.
It is vital that managers in organisations producing nanomaterials embrace a professional approach to risk management as means of increasing public confidence, and also demonstrating to the regulatory bodies that all aspects of risk vs benefits are being properly assessed.
This half-day meeting will provide an introduction to risk management techniques for individuals involved in nanotechnology research and development within companies, universities and facilities.
