ROUTE

The fourth area immerses visitors into the reflective dimensions of nanotechnologies. Sciences and techniques are also the products of a culture. As others before them, nanotechnologies reactivate a sometimes ancestral imaginary and create both fears and hopes. They arise real questions in terms of potential risks for our health and the environment.
How can citizens be associated to the control of nanotechnologies development ? The debate is open and everyone can contribute.

Through some reminders taken from science-fiction, the visitor can put into perspective the fantastical speeches associated to nanosciences research. Then, the visitor is immersed in practical problems : health and environment related risks. He has the choice to consult contradictory viewpoints and therefore to weigh the arguments of each experts. He is then invited to express his own opinion : his viewpoint is posted and becomes an integral part of the exhibition debate.

« Nanotechnologies : extremely small, maxi challenges», is the first French travelling exhibition about nanotechnologies.
