Abstract
For sustainable and responsible development of nanotechnology, the risk issues in nanomaterials must be properly addressed despite the lack of relevant knowledge and regulations. In this paper, 'Nanosmile' as an example of web-based tool for education and dialogue for the risk issues, is introduced. First developed at Atomic Energy Commissary (CEA) for in-house training, Nanosmile was integrated to European project NanoSafe2 in 2006 and evolved into an interactive website opening to the public at large. The feedback during the training process, perspectives and limitations of the website are also presented.
