More Nanoethics organizations

About a month ago, the Center on Nanotechnology and Society (a joint IIT and Chicago's Kent School of Law) had its inaugural event.
The Center on Nantechnology and Society (CONAS) is an affiliate of the Institute on Biotechnology and the Human Future (IBHF), at Chicago-Kent College of Law in the Illinois Institute of Technology. The goal of the Center is to catalyze informed, inter-disciplinary research and education on the implications of nanoscale science and technology for ethical, legal, policy, business, and wider social issues, and with a special focus on the human condition. Drawing on the resources of IBHF, including its wide network of fellows that represent diverse sectors of society (see www.thehumanfuture.org), CONAS hosts consultations through the Chicago Nano Forum, and sponsors national symposia.
