随着纳米技术的飞速发展和产业化步伐的加快,“负责任地发展纳米技术”已经越来越多地引起了各国政府和社会各界的关注。作为纳米技术研发的大国之一,德国联邦政府、学术界、企业以及非政府组织(NG0)就如何形成负责任地发展纳米技术开展了一系列的讨论,并形成了一整套“纳米技术行为准则”。这些准则的颁发和实施推动了德国纳米技术的健康发展。文章在介绍了德国如何开展负责任地发展纳米技术的基础上,进一步分析了形成这一氛围的制度和文化原因,并对我国开展负责任地发展纳米技术提出了一些建议和思考。
With the rapiddevelopment of nanotechnology and its industrialization, responsible devel opment of nanotechnology has increasingly caught the attention of governments and societies world wide. The German federal government, academic circles, enterprises and NGOs engaged in a series of discussions and established a set of codes of conduct, which promote the sound development of nanotechnology in Germany. This paper introduces the German efforts in the responsible develop ment of nanotechnology, analyzes its institutional structure and cultural environment, and provides suggestions on the responsible development of nanotechnology in China.
