DaNa team publishes paper at the end of the project

At the end of the DaNa project series, the team has now successfully published a Perspektive in Frontiers in ToxicologyInsights in Nanotoxicology veröffentlicht: The DaNa projects: public communication of (nano)material safety data—from conspiracy theories to study quality https://doi.org/10.3389/ftox.2024.1382458

In this perspective, the authors provide an overview on developments and experiences in communication on the safety of (nano)materials. They want to share their experiences with the scientific community so that they can be utilised for future communication activities. They present the long-term work of the science communication projects DaNa, DaNa2.0 and DaNa4.0, which ran from 2009 to 2023. In the early 2000s, with the beginnings of nanotechnology research, communication about the safety of nanomaterials to the public was still very new and presented the projects with many challenges. Today, science communication is essential for the dissemination of scientific knowledge and a fact-based approach such as the “DaNa Knowledge Base Materials” creates a trusting dialogue with the public. This long-term project series has made a significant contribution to communication on the safety of nanomaterials, perhaps even the largest among publicly funded project series worldwide.
