Although applications are coming in I wanted to let you know that it's still possible to register for our International Advanced Course called Strategic Communication & Applied Ethics in Nanobiotechnology we are organising on 11- 16 March 2007 at St. Edmund Hall, Oxford.

This is an intensive training course for nanobiotechnology researchers on public communication and the ethical implications of nanobiotechnology.

The course consists of an alternating programme of expert lectures, case studies, media training, role play, group discussions and debate.

Course participants will acquire:
• knowledge of the relevant ethical, legal and social aspects of nanobiotechnology
• skills to communicate effectively with the media and the public
• understanding of issues involved in the public acceptance of nanobiotechnology

This course is organised by Nanobio-RAISE, a European Co-ordination Action bringing together nanobiotechnologists, ethicists and communication specialists with the aim of anticipating the societal and ethical issues likely to arise as nanobiotechnologies develop. For further information look at our website www.nanobio-raise.org . A grant for the registration fee may be available if needed.

Feel free to distribute the word widely!

With best regards, Susanne Sleenhoff
