European Commission on Nanotechnology

The European Commission on Nanotechnology oversees the development and regulation of nanotechnology across Europe. Nanotechnology involves manipulating matter at an extremely small scale, which can lead to innovative products in medicine, electronics, and energy. The Commission aims to promote safe research, ensure responsible use, and address potential risks associated with nanomaterials. They support funding, regulation, and guidelines so that nanotech advances benefit society while minimizing environmental and health concerns. Overall, it functions to foster innovation in nanotechnology within a framework of safety and ethical responsibility.
