Hi all,

Recently I submitted a report to the National Enabling Technologies Strategy on European approaches to public engagement around nanotechnologies. The report identified a number of themes about why we struggle we public engagement. I’ve posted the report here and it is available to download and share: http://bridge8.wordpress.com/2010/05/05/public-engagement-reported/

I also spoke at the Sir Mark Oliphant Cleantech conference this morning on why communities should care about emerging technologies, including cleantech. The slides and some notes are also available: http://bridge8.wordpress.com/2010/05/05/why-should-communities-care-about-em erging-technologies/

I’d welcome your comments on either.

Kind regards, Kristin
