Executive Summary
A three-year rolling tour of Germany for the so-called nanoTruck engaged first gear this month in an initiative that is designed to bring new tech - and specifically nanotech - to the attention of the 80 million population. The federal research ministry (BMBF)-sponsored plan will highlight the opportunities and risks involved in nanotechnology, and profile career opportunities in this branch of science. Schools, universities, town market squares and exhibitions will all be visited by the double-decker nanoTruck, which will feature interactive experiments, presentations and workshops, a nanoKino and a lasershow, "Reise in den Nanokosmos".
