Ethics, Standards & Regulation in Nanotechnology at World Nano 2027

Ethics, standards and regulation are considered through the responsible development and use of nanotechnology in this World Nanotechnology Conference session. The scope includes nanomaterial definitions, measurement and testing standards, reporting guidelines, regulatory pathways, research ethics, societal impacts and public engagement. Discussions will address how evidence is generated, communicated and assessed across research and application settings. Attention will also be given to transparency, stakeholder participation and differences between sectors or jurisdictions, without assuming that a single framework applies to every nanomaterial or product.

Abstract Scope and Participation

Abstracts are invited on standardization, governance research, comparative regulatory analysis, ethical assessments, stakeholder studies and science communication. Contributions examining practical implementation, uncertainty or responsible innovation are welcome. Scientists, standards specialists, regulatory professionals, ethicists, social researchers, industry representatives, educators and students are encouraged to exchange evidence and perspectives on the scientific and societal responsibilities associated with nanotechnology.
