They talk about "focusing on ways to mitigate the nanodivide in
communication" - so does that mean that there's a barely perceptible
comms gap then?

Subject: [PSCI-COM] Communicating big on the really small
The EU's nanotechnology team has been working on "appropriate
communication and innovative approaches to engage the European civil
society into a dialogue on nanotechnology".
It came out of a workshop earlier this year. "Experts in the field of
science communication share success, best practices and challenge
stories, to give to different audiences a "voice" in the policy making
process."
They want comments on "a set of recommended activities for Europe".

PEST:

Feel free to add anything else.
