Final dissemination event and launch of the SeeingNano online exchange

This deliverable comes out of Task 5.3. [Lead: NIA+EWG, Support: Tomato, AEESTI/Ecsite+ 3rd prts, BfR, ZSI, PlayGen Studio HB, UnivLeeds] The success of the SeeingNano project will be defined by the use of its output and results by the wider nanotechnology stakeholder community; it is thus of utmost importance to create an environment for the developed SeeingNano tools, which stimulates to their use and updating, in order to secure the impact of the SeeingNano project beyond the project lifetime. the SeeingNano online exchange (i.e. interactive repository) for (a) (customisable) visualisation tools, (b) good-practice and guidance documents, (c) examples of successful (e.g. piloted (and improved)) communication and visualisation technologies and tools, and (d) science- and technology-based content for fee and flexible use. The online exchange will be predominantly designed for professional use by nanotechnology stakeholders that seek to run awareness- and acceptance building events/engagements, but it will also be accessible to the wider public that can browse the exchange for their own anecdotal information building or entertainment. The online exchange will be based on a database framework that allows the search, download and upload of linked content in various formats through a clear taxonomy, which will be set early in this task. This task (Task 5.3) will also provide a manual and help-function for the exchange to guide the users beyond the lifetime of the SeeingNano project. The exchange will contain the following elements (but not be limited to them): • Content categories for (a) visualisation tools (both customizable and exemplary SeeingNano tools), • Guidance documents and good-practice reports on nanotechnology awareness- and acceptance-building (incl. examples of successful communication and visualization of nanotechnology), • Science- and technology-based content for flexible future use in nanotechnology awareness- and acceptance building events, and • A blog for interactive experience exchange communication and technical questions. The quality of both technical and content-related comments and uploads on the exchange will be ensured by the WP5 team during the lifetime of the project, and in a WIKI-style maintenance arrangement through approved and established public users after the project has ended.
