(Deepening Ethical Engagement and Participation in Emeging Nanotechnologies)

DEEPEN is a three-year research project funded by the European Commission.

The DEEPEN project is Europe’s leading research partnership for integrated understanding of the ethical challenges posed by emerging nanotechnologies in real world circumstances, and their implications for civil society, for governance, and for scientific practice.

The project is coordinated by the Institute for Hazard and Risk Research (IHRR) at Durham University. The project team includes researchers based at Darmstadt University of Technology (Germany), the Centre for Social Studies at the University of Coimbra (Portugal), and the University of Twente (Netherlands).
