Nanotechnology will impact our lives on a global scale. Over the past year experts from the London School of Economics, Environmental Law Institute, Chatham House and the Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars have been examining issues of transatlantic regulatory cooperation. Their research findings are to be published in a major report, which will be launched at this international conference on 10-11 September 2009.

The conference brings together regulatory experts from the US and EU.

Its purpose is to discuss recommendations from this research effort but also to generate and examine new ideas that would enable greater transatlantic cooperation and convergence on nanotechnology oversight today and in the future.

For further details on the research project and a conference agenda (available from late June), please see the project website: http://www.lse.ac.uk/nanoregulation.

Participation in the conference is by invitation only. Please send an email to Ms. Carmen Gayoso at nanotech@lse.ac.uk if you would like to attend.
