L’association AVICENN

AVICENN is the association of watch and civic information on the stakes of nanosciences and nanotechnologies. We exercise a citizen’s watch, propose a transversal and independent information on nanomaterials and act for more transparency and vigilance in the nano field.

In order to promote the understanding by the largest number of people of the issues and controversies related to nanos, we research, compile, analyze and disseminate information on this site veillenanos.fr, but also on the associated social networks: twitter, facebook, Linkedin and on other media: book, comics, interviews, etc. …
