Abstract

For sustainable and responsible development of nanotechnology, the risk issues in nanomaterials must be properly addressed despite the lack of relevant knowledge and regulations. In this paper, 'Nanosmile' as an example of web-based tool for education and dialogue for the risk issues, is introduced. First developed at Atomic Energy Commissary (CEA) for in-house training, Nanosmile was integrated to European project NanoSafe2 in 2006 and evolved into an interactive website opening to the public at large. The feedback during the training process, perspectives and limitations of the website are also presented.

나노물질의 위험성에 관한 지식과 규제가 부족하지만, 지속가능하고 책임있는 나노기술의 발전을 위해서는 나노물질의 잠재적인 위험을 언급해야 한다. 이 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결할 수 있는, 웹에 기반한 교육 및 소통 도구인 '나노스마일'을 소개한다. 원래 프랑스 원자력청 내부 교육을 위해 개발된 '나노스마일'은 2006년 유럽 과제인 '나노세이2'에 포함되면서 그 대상을 일반 대중까지 포함하고 서로 작용하는 웹사이트로 발전되었다. 웹사이트 운용 중 수집된 훈련과정에서의 반향과 웹사이트의 전망 및 한계도 서술되어 있다.
