2 Summary

This report describes the organization and development of the Expert Workshop on "Nanotechnology

Applications in Water and Alternative Energy" that took place in Curitiba, Brazil, on May 28-29, 2014. This

Workshop is part of the activities of task 3.3 (Expert´s workshop Methodology development and Preparation

of four Expert workshops) of the Work Package 3 (EU-LAC Networking, consultation dialogue and open

innovation platform).

This workshop was the fourth of its kind carried out as part of the NMP-DeLa project activities, following the

Nano-health Workshop and Summer School (Argentina); the NanoWater and NanoEnergy Workshop and

Summer School (México) and the Workshop Nanotechnology for Industry (Chile).

As the previous ones, the Nanotechnology applications in Water and Alternative Energies workshop was

based on the outcomes of the Mapping of Latin American Research on Nano Health, Nano Water and Nano

Energy, carried out under WP2 (Mapping, Strategy development and recommendations). The mapping

identified relevant experts and stakeholders in different countries that were invited to present successful

cases in Europe and Latin America.

The workshop´s main goal was to promote networking among the different researchers and their

institutions. Although it was a relatively small workshop, due to financial constraints, complementarities

and similar research interests were identified among the participants. Possibilities of collaborative research

were recognized during the workshop. The assessment of the meeting by the participants was very positive.

3 Introduction

The main objective of NMP-DeLA project is to develop a series of activities between European and Latin

American countries, aiming at strengthening the local research and training potential as a way of facilitating

the deployment of nano- and advanced materials technologies in areas of major social challenge in Latin

America: Energy, Water and Health.

The objective of Work Package 3 is to mobilize, set-up and engage the NMP-DeLA community. The target is

to engage international experts and stakeholders in real and virtual hearings and collaborative workshops

on the continuous elaboration and assessments of the innovation strategy and roadmap. This activity has

been sustained over the project duration. The experts involved were related to the entire value-chain,

including R&D organizations, educational organizations, industrial stakeholders, policy makers and

government, and civil-society.



These actions will provide support to researchers, scientists and organizations to facilitate their engagement

with business and industrial partners and policy makers. It will support the development of a long-term

sustainable platform through which collaborative relationships can be formed, leading to an increase in the

deployment of technologies that address societal challenges in healthcare, clean energy and the

environment.

The goal of the Deliverable Expert Workshops “NanoWater & NanoEnergy” - Report on Implementation

& follow-up is to provide a document outlining the development and the conclusions of the workshop,

with the aim of providing a useful tool for joint research in NanoWater & NanoEnergy.

4 Event Development

The Workshop Nanotechnology Applications in Water and Alternative Energies was organized by ReLANS, in

collaboration w i t h the Project Coordinator Fundació Eurecat and the rest of NMP-DeLA partners. Its main

objectives were:

Share expertise and good practices between experts from different Latin American countries and

European countries

Identify topics of common interest to promote joint R&D projects, human resources training and other

activities in the framework of existing and future initiatives in the areas of NanoWater and NanoEnergy.

Establish the bases for the creation of a network of EU-LAC experts in NanoEnergy & NanoWater.

4.1 Preparatory phase & Methodology

In order to accomplish the goals of task 3.3 of the DoW, the last workshop was planned to be held in Brazil

involving mainly researchers from South America and experts from Europe. The identification of experts

was based on the results of the mapping of research groups on nanowater and nanoenergy in Latin American

countries and the identification of EU-LAC research collaborations carried out by RELANS and ZSI in WP 2.

The workshop was intended to cover research on nanotechnology applied to water in energy in at least five

Latin American countries and to bring at least four European experts, two on each subject, plus

representatives from government, industry and civil society. The main purpose was to create a two-day



sharing of successful experiences and to facilitate opportunities for R&D cooperation. Given budgetary

constraints, however, the workshop was mainly focused on researchers and policy makers.

4.2 Invited Experts

Based on their prominent research activities on nanotechnology research applied to water and energy,

several researchers (20) were invited to participate in the workshop (however, some of them were not

available for the selected dates. One researcher from Peru, Dr. Juan Martín Rodriguez had to cancel at the

Noela Invernizzi, from ReLANS, local organizer of the event, opened the workshop. Noela welcomed the

participants to the Federal University of Paraná, and briefly explained the goals of the workshop and the

organization of the activities. Dr. Edilson Silveira, vice-Chancellor for Research and Graduate Programs of

the Federal University of Paraná welcomed the participants and highlighted the importance of the

workshop for the construction of international research networks in nanotechnology. He highlighted that

the university hosts the LCNANO (Central Nanotechnology Laboratory) one of the associated national

nanotechnology laboratories of the SiSNANO network – a network of strategic nanotechnology research

infrastructure launched in 2012 by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation. Dr. Graciela Bolzón

de Muniz, director of the LCCNAO, also greeted the workshop attendees and wished a productive meeting.



Starting the activities of Day 1, the project coordinator, Liceth Rebolledo presented the NMP DeLA Project

goals and structure, as well as the main activities already carried out during the last 20 months. Liceth

emphasized that the workshops were conceived as a strategic moment to build partnerships among Latin

American and European researchers.

Guillermo Foladori presented the main findings of the Mapping of Nanotechnology Research applied to

Energy and Water in Latin America. First, Dr Foladori briefly introduced ReLANS and its activities on

nanotechnology in the Latin American region. Regarding the map, he highlighted that several researchers

from many countries were involved in data gathering. The main findings of the map were presented,

including publications on nanowater and nanoenergy, existing research groups and research collaborations

among Latin-American countries and of those with European countries.

As a general background for the workshop and in order to stimulate the diffusion of the responsible research

innovation (RRI) framework among Latin American researchers, Ilse Marschalek talked about a European

Project aimed to develop a RRI tool kit. She highlighted the collection of RRI practices reported during the

project and described a broad stakeholder consultation in different countries regarding the experiences and

difficulties experimented putting RRI into practice.

The next two expositions were made by the Coordinator for Nano and Micro Technologies at the Brazilian

Ministry of Science Technology and Innovation and by the person in charge of international collaborations

at the same office. Dr Alfredo de Souza Mendes presented a historical view of the Brazilian nanotechnology

policy and programs and emphasized the achievements over the last 15 years including the increasing

number of researchers, the construction of infrastructure –the SISNANO laboratory system-, and the

increasing attention to nanotoxicology research and regulation matters over the last years. Next, Anna

Tempesta presented the main areas of international cooperation in the field of nanotechnology currently

promoted by the MSTI, which are energy, environment (including water treatment), health and agribusiness.

In water and energy, current cooperation occurs with China, United States, Canada and the BRICS. Increasing

cooperation with Europe is of interest of the Ministry. Finally, she emphasized that Brazil joined the EU-led

Nano REG project last year, which will engage Brazil more actively in regulatory science research.

Two European experts composed the first panel on nanotechnology applied to Energy. Bertran Fillon, from

the Laboratory for Innovation in New Energy Technologies and Nanomaterials, CEA, France, presented his

laboratory infrastructure, research areas and activities and main partnerships with industry. Then, he

focused on nanotechnology for photovoltaic (PV) applications in bulk silicon, thin films PV cells, and organic

PV cells, giving information on latest innovations and increasing performance of different solar cells. He



concluded that silicon is still the lower cost approach and that nanotechnology will help increase efficiency.

The second generation of PV cells and organic PV can also benefit from nanotechnology; however, the latter

still faces great efficiency challenges.

Wim Sinke, from the Energy Research Center and Science University of Amsterdam, talked about the role of

nanotechnology for photovoltaic conversion. He highlighted the trend towards the reduction of costs of

photovoltaics energy and presented the challenges for higher efficiency related to different technological

options. Given the limitations of single materials, he claimed that hybrid materials could be a way of facing

those challenges and showed different contributions made by nanotechnology R&D to that end, such as

nanolayers for surface passivation, nanopatterns for light management, quantum dots for spectrum shaping

and for multi-electron generation, among others. Dr Sinke concluded that nanotechnology opens new

perspectives for PV energy efficiency and reduced costs but he considered that beating existing PV

technologies in high volumes is still challenging.

The panel of Latin American researchers on nanotechnology applications to energy was composed by four

presentations. The authors and abstracts of the presentations are exposed below:

Dra. Lucimara Stolz Roman - Solar cells and devices: nanomaterials research for renewable energy

Organic solar cells based on semiconducting polymers and carbon nanostructures have the advantage of

being printed or coated onto flexible plastic using an inexpensive, energy-efficient manufacturing process.

The main issues to be solved are related to the limitations on photovoltaic efficiency. The mechanisms of

photocurrent creation are still under debate but, in general, the photocurrent in donor-acceptor blends is

dominated by the dissociation efficiency of bound electron-hole pairs at the p-n interface, which is extremely

dependent on the nano-morphology of the active layer. The packing of the nano materials, and/or polymer

chains allowing the formation of continuous path to the electrode are the keys to a high performance organic

solar cell. The Group of Nanoestructured Devices (DiNE) from the Physics Department of UFPR works in the

characterization of nano-structured materials and its applications in Organic Photovoltaics (OPV). In this

talk, will be presented the basics of an OPV and the on-going research at DiNE addressing these topics.

Dr. Ricardo Faccio - Nanomaterials for Energy Applications

In this presentation we are going to show the recent developments in nanomateriales for energy applications

in Uruguay. In the first case we will present the advances in Nanomaterials for photovoltaic applications.

One approximation consists in the so-called Dye Sensitized Solar Cells in which a chormophore group is

anchored in the surface of a semiconductor in a nanometric size. Different options can be considered in this

case; one of them is the utilization of natural [1] or synthetic [2] crompohore groups or synthetic, with



consequences in the efficiency and durability of the solar cells. Another option is the use of Core/shell–type

Hetero-structures for Solar Cell Applications [3].

Dr. Pedro Migoski da Silva - Nanomaterials applied to production of Hydrogen by Artificial

Photosynthesis: Recent results and future perspectives

The photoelectrochemical water splitting reaction (PEC-WS), or artificial photosynthesis, has emerged as an

important alternative for a sustainable and price competitive production of hydrogen. This talk will show

the recent developments obtained by our group on the use of physical vapour deposition (PVD) methods to

prepare nanomaterials applied in PEC-WS. PVD enables the preparation of thin layers of expensive

nanomaterials with low waste production; therefore decreasing PEC systems manufacture costs. Moreover,

the interface of between the semiconductor and the evaporated nanomaterials can be optimized under high

vacuum conditions used in PVD processes and more efficient PEC systems can be obtained. Future

perspectives of the group at PUCRS on the PEC-WS will be shown.

Andreia G. Macedo, Fernando N. Cidade, Jeferson F. de Deus - Molding P3HT conjugated polymer in fibers

by solvent-annealing-induced nanowetting in porous template

In this work, poly[3-hexyl-thiophene] (P3HT) polymer was assembled in fibers-like structures using a post-

deposition treatment denoted as solvent-annealing-induced nanowetting in templates (SAINT). In this

procedure, the as cast P3HT films deposited onto glass (or flexible) substrate are placed in contact with a

porous template for instance, anodic alumina oxide (AAO), and then exposed to an atmosphere saturated

with vapours of organic solvent. This will induce a partial dissolution of the polymer and infiltration into the

porous. After this, the template can be selectively removed and large areas containing tubular or fibers

structures of polymer can be achieved. This is a simple procedure to produce fibers of conjugated polymer

in films with enhanced optical and electrical properties that allows their application in optoelectronic

devices.

The panel was followed by a Questions & Answers session. Then, Dr. Daniel Egbe, opened a session aimed at

creating opportunities for cooperation. Dr. Egbe presented his experience in organizing ANSOLE

(http://www.ansole.org/), a cooperation network among African Countries on Solar Energy. ANSOLE

performs several tasks, outlined in the presentation, in order to foster education and training in renewable



energies; promote research on renewable energies among African and non-African scientists; and encourage

the use of renewable energies in Africa. Dr Egbe proposed the creation of a much global networks involving

Africa, Latin America and Europe.

After Dr Egbes´ enthusiastic presentation, Liceth Rebolledo and Ivana Resnichenko facilitated a conversation

of potential collaborations among the researchers and their institutions. This was a first approach and

several other interactions occurred in more informal exchanges afterwards. The representatives of the MSTI

talked about some funding opportunities and previous cooperation links that could be used to promote new

research themes.

The last activity of day one was a Focus Groups moderated by Martina Lindorfer and Ilse Marschalek from

the Center for Social Innovation, Austria. They have organized a similar focus group at each workshop in

other to collect information from the participants about the research priorities and challenges faced by each

country in order to pursuit the development of nanotechnology applied to the three areas focused in the

project. A report on this activity can be seen in Annex I.

During the morning of the second day of the workshop Nicola Tucci, our project partner from Redinn,

presented a general overview of Horizon 2020 and explained the rationale, goals and budget of this EU

initiative. Then, he went on in detail with diverse funding opportunities for cooperative research in the field

of advanced materials and nanotechnology. Nicola also explained that Brazil and other countries will no

longer receive automatic funding as it was in FP7. There are new schemes for participation under

construction, and more opportunities are opened for Brazil and other Brics´countries.

During the afternoon activities focused on nanotechnology applications on drinking water and wastewater

treatment. Professor Jan Hofman, from the Water Innovation and Research Centre of the University of

Bath, talked about the opportunities and risks related to the use of nanotechnology for clean water. Dr

Hoffman explained some health and environmental risks of nanoparticles and claimed that public

acceptance of nanotechnology is conditioned to a good understanding and management of risks, as well as

transparent information. Some nanoparticles are particularly relevant for risk analysis. Then he turned to

explain different techniques used to clean water effluents or to produce drinking water. According to Dr.

Hoffman, nanotechnology for water and wastewater treatment has not developed yet to a widespread

technology, but at the laboratory scale shows great potential. The emission, fate and stability of

nanoparticles in water is still uncertain, and toxicity to humans and the aquatic environment still

unknown. Government and industry need to pay attention to these aspects as well as to the social and

economic benefits of this technology.



During the afternoon there were two round tables presenting the research contributions of different Latin

American countries on nanotechnology applied to drinking water and wastewater treatmen. Below are the

abstracts of all presentations that were followed by a questions and answer period.

Dr. Daniel Martire - Nanoparticles for the Adsorption and Photodegradation of Contaminants

The development of novel and cost-effective magnetic nanomaterials for environmental remediation has

recently attracted considerable attention. In this context, we prepared and characterized: i) Silica

nanoparticles modified with amino groups for the adsorption Pb2+ and Cd2+. To facilitate the separation of

the nanomaterial by filtration, after the sorption of the metal ions a novel method involving the synthesis of

bigger composite particles was employed. ii) Magnetite nanoparticles coated with humic substances. These

particles were used for the adsorption of the dye Rhodamine B and the metal ions Pb2+ and Tl+. UV-A

irradiation of suspensions of the nanoparticles under aerobic conditions led to degradation of the emerging

contaminant carbamazepin (psychiatric drug). The reduction of HgCl2 to the insoluble product Hg2Cl2

photosensitized by fulvic acid-coated magnetite nanoparticles under anaerobic conditions and in the

presence of formate is also discussed. Under these conditions the reducing radical CO2.- is formed.

Dr. Koiti Araki - Nanocomposites for Removal of Soluble Pollutants and Treatment of Water

The conventional method for water treatment based on pH correction, addition of flocculation agents such

as alum and iron(III) salts, decantation and filtering through sand filters is not suitable for removal of all

pollutants that may be present in water in order to make it potable. Thus, here will be presented adsorbents

that has been developed at University of Sao Paulo aiming the removal of water soluble contaminants such

as heavy metals, hormones, pesticides, hydrocarbons, dyes, among others from large volumes of water. Also,

nanocomposites based on silver nanoparticles, exhibiting high bactericidal efficiency, have being prepared

making possible both the removal of undesirable chemical contaminants and the elimination of noxious

bacteria in order to achieve the compliance for potable water. Also, a portable kit for water treatment will

be presented.

Dr. Bernabé L. Rivas, Mónica Pérez, Bruno F. Urbano, Julio Sánchez, Nathaly Lampré - Polymer-clay

nanocomposite for oxyanions removal

Polymer-clay nanocomposites researches have presented a great attention from scientific community

because nanocomposites materials present enhanced properties (mechanical, thermal, and barrier

properties) compared with starting material (unloaded polymers) [1]. These positive charged clays allow its



usage as anion exchange materials, such as pollutant oxyanions. The anion exchange composites were

synthesized by in-situ radical polymerization (a mixture of monomer, LDH, crosslinker, and initiator) and

characterized by different techniques such as: FTIR, X-ray diffraction, microhardness, TGA, and scanning

electron microscopy. Additionally, resins were studied as sorbents for oxyanions from aqueous solution,

arsenate (AsO43-), chromate (CrO4

2-), and vanadate (VO43-). The experiments were carried out by batch

equilibrium procedure and the effect of pH (8-12), time, concentration, selectivity, and the LDH content was

assessed for an initial concentration of 30 mg/L. At these conditions, the composite exhibited a high sorption

reaching almost a 100% of removal. Also, the sorption of materials presented a fast kinetics reaching the

maximum sorption after less than 30 min of contact. Selectivity experiments were carried out using an

arsenic solution in the presence of sulfate anions and the nanocomposite did not exhibit significant decrease

in sorption capacity.

Dr. Edgar E. González - The problem of Mercury contamination in Colombia, challenges from

nanotechnology for measurement and remediation

Mercury pollution in water, air and soil is a sensitive environmental and public health problem in Colombia.

Levels of mercury pollution result of anthropogenic activity in rural areas that are at least 10 times above

those recommended have been identified. Developments and strategies from nanoscience and

nanotechnology with the coordination of efforts between the academy, industry and government can be

implemented to address the problem of mercury contamination. Development and implementation of

nanosensors, greenway production of nanomaterials capable of remediation with low impact on living

organisms and the environment and the Initiative that NanoColombia network is consolidating to confront

the problem of mercury contamination will be presented.

Dr. Eduardo Miró - Nanomaterials for catalytic processes applied to water treatment

The research activities in our group are focused on the controlled preparation and characterization of

nanoparticles supported on different structured substrates for their use in the treatment of drinking water.

Catalytic processes for the abatement of both inorganic and organic contaminants are studied. The pollution

generated by nitrates and nitrites is an important problem affecting many countries around the world, as

the result of the intensive use of agricultural fertilizers and also from industrial waste effluents. Organic



pollutants are also frequently present in wastewater from many industries. Different metal and oxides

nanoparticles are investigated for their use in the development of efficient catalytic processes. These

nanoparticles are supported on different types of microstructures: fibers, monoliths and foams, with the aim

of improving the activity and selectivity of the catalytic reactions.

Nanobubbles (NB-150-800 nm) are formed together with microbubbles (30-100 µ m) after

depressurization of air-saturated water, in flow constrictors. The selective separation of the NB, their

stability, charge, aggregation and solid/liquid properties by flotation constitute recent discoveries in our

research group. Thus, it is now possible to form charged, uncharged, big or small NB loaded or not with

surfactants. Their applications for the removal of fine solids (quartz), precipitates (amine and sulfate ions)

from water/wastewater were studied thoroughly and results obtained are very encouraging. Results

revealed a high aggregation of particles, higher hydrophobicity and a rapid removal of these pollutants

from water by flotation. Main challenges to face now are a sustainable generation of NB (high rate with

energetic efficiency), efficient removal of organic compounds, disinfection and aeration of biological systems

for water/wastewater treatment with air and oxygen/ozone enriched NB. The potential of the NB in

future water treatment is envisaged.

Dra. Ma. Teresa Alarcón Herrera - Nanomaterials and drinking water treatment technologies:

opportunities and challenges

An adequate supply of safe drinking water is a basic prerequisite for a healthy life, but naturally occurring

pollutants and waterborne diseases are still a major cause of death in many parts of the world. Recent

advances in nanomaterials science and engineering provide potential solutions to many current water

quality challenges, with particularly promising developments in drinking water purification. Nanomaterials

that reduce concentrations of naturally occurring toxic pollutants to ppb levels can be used to reach higher

drinking water quality standards. This presentation gives an overview of the latest advances in novel

nanomaterials and processes for the treatment of surface and groundwater contaminated by toxic metal and

metalloid ions, inorganic and organic solutes, and microorganisms, as well as remaining challenges in

drinking water purification.



Dr. Juan Rodríguez - Nanomaterials for solar water decontamination

The development of water decontamination technologies that are efficient, robust, easy to implement and

easy to maintain is the paradigm to be followed throughout the development process. However, when the

recipient of that development is a resident located in a rural area, this requirement becomes even more

critical, because there is usually a limited access to energy, lack or limited access to chemical reagents, poorly

trained technical staff and generally inadequate roads. Not to mention that the developed technology must

be socially accepted. In this work, It will be reviewed our experience in the fabrication and characterization

of photocatalytic supported nanomaterials for water purification [1-6] and strategies to implement during

cloudy days. The growth of TiO2 nanoparticles fixed onto rigid and flexible substrates will be shown as well

as ZnO nanorods supported onto a flat substrate. All of these materials will be discussed as a function of the

main parameters used in their preparation and their ability to photocatalytically eliminate bacteria in

water. Studies were performed in the laboratory as well as at a greenfield site. For long term on-site

experiments, for example, bacteria decontamination under real conditions has been successfully tested at

rural places using solar irradiated photocatalytic prototypes of up to 120 L. With these studies, it was

demonstrated the feasibility to obtain water disinfection by using supported photocatalytic nanomaterials

illuminating it with solar radiation and makes us optimistic for the development of robust technologies for

water treatment at rural areas.

Following the round tables, the session “Opportunities for cooperation” was moderated by the project

partners Ineke Malsh and Liceth Rebolledo. Ineke presented a document elaborated within the project

entitled Policy Brief on Euro-Latin American Cooperation on Nanotechnologies, showing the collaboration

networks that were initiated through the project. Convergences and complementarities between

researchers and institutions were identified that would allow the construction of joint projects in the near

future.



The workshop was formally closed by Noela Invernizzi, who in name of all the project partners, thanked the

contributions of all the participants and wished the birth of new and interesting research networks on

nanoenergy and nanowater, two strategic areas to cope with social challenges in the Latin American region.

4.4 Conclusions

The event was a good opportunity to present research advances by many experts in the fields of nanowater

and nanoenergy from different Latin American and European countries. Several challenges in energy and

water are common to the Latin American region, and other challenges are shared by more industrialized

countries. This situation calls for more collaborative approaches, and the workshop started to build some

partnerships. In addition, government representatives from the Brazilian Ministry of Science, Technology

and Innovation participated actively during all the meeting, offering support for different initiatives. This is

very important once Brazil is the leading Latin American country in terms of research in the areas of

nanowater and nanoenergy and could act as a leader in order to promote research networking.

E-mail communications received after the workshop indicated a high degree of satisfaction with the

initiative, and reported some plans for collaborations (see Annex IV).

5 Annex I: Report on the Focus Groups (ZSI team)

SUMMARY

The group of participants was composed of 25 people (of which 7 were women). Most participants represented the stakeholder group of researchers, including 3 social scientists, but mostly researchers coming from public research institutions in Latin America in different areas of nanotechnologies. Ministries were also represented as well as some European research institutions. The aim of the focus group discussion in Curitiba was twofold: on the one hand we wanted to validate key findings from previous NMP DeLA focus groups (in Buenos Aires, Monterrey and Santiago de Chile). On the other hand we wanted to collect additional thoughts and ideas on the question: “Which factors are crucial in nanotechnology development to produce solutions, technologies and applications for meeting societal challenges in the future?” We discussed 5 clusters of topics “research”, “education & training”, “policy & funding”, “industry and investment” and “ethical, legal and social aspects”. Of those topics “research” was of most interest (given the audience of the workshop) and most controversially discussed. The main controversies were focused on the coordination of research infrastructure: Should big nano/data centers be strengthened or is it better to have distributed networks on specialized research methods or should more resources go to remote locations? Consent could not be found. There was, however, general agreement that nano infrastructure in Latin America needs improvement and further investments. There was a clearly expressed need for the formulation of coherent national strategies for nanotechnologies which are absent or weak in most parts of Latin America. At the heart of such a strategy should be a very wise and strategic prioritization of topics which needs to be in accordance with quality and social relevance of research and products. Accordingly, cooperation with industries has to be established and promoted. There was some controversy about the width of the definition of priorities. The proposal to identify broader strategic focus areas (such as water sanitation) competed with the suggestion to define very specific “killer applications” with high potential to convince politicians and users. What came out clear was that the development of the nanotechnology strategy must be done in a consolidation process with the involvement of all stakeholder groups. Consensus was also found on making safety and toxicology a national priority topic as well as on the importance to politically promote and demand sustainable processes and equipment. The discussion on the “education & training”-aspect resulted in the agreement that no new nano specific post-graduation courses are required, but that nanotechnology should be integrated on a high standard in existing curricula (e.g. in physics or chemistry). Apart from students, also policy makers and citizens need to be educated on nanotechnologies. Demonstration activities may help, but it is important to transmit a realistic image instead of creating even more false expectations about what the technology can and can’t offer. Last but not least it became evident that there remains a serious need to discuss the definition of nanotechnology. Is it possible to find a general definition (for all purposes, application areas, stakeholders) or is such a general definition dispensable against the background of endless debate between parties of interest? It is important to mention that Latin American countries perform very differently in all above mentioned issues and that much progress has already been achieved in selected areas (especially in Brazil) which must not be underestimated in the current debate.

8.2 E-mails from participants

Dear all,

I want to join Prof Hofman to thank Noela and her team for bringing us together. I hope that the resulting initiative from

the Curitiba meeting named BALEWARE (Bridging Africa, Latin America and Europe on Water and Renewable

Energies Applications) will carry on the spirit behind NMP-DeLA even after the termination of the project this year.

For the BALEWARE initiative, a datasheet will be prepared and sent to all. I will be happy if anyone of you could

prepare such a datasheet gathering information on individuals interested to be part of the initiative: BALEWARE will be

a platform of RESEARCH and APPLICATIONS linking the three continents.

Attached is a scanned copy of the one of the pictures you signed. Please print it, frame it and hang it in your office as a

souvenir from Curitiba.
