Europeans believe Nanotechnology will impact industry & everyday lives

In Europe people believe nanotechnology will play a role in their day-to-day lives in the next decade:

"Jan. 7, 2005 – The vast majority of Europeans believe nanotechnology will impact industry and everyday life in Europe within a decade, according to a survey conducted for the European Commission. Almost half predicted Europe would face a shortage of qualified workers before 2015, and most supported more funding for interdisciplinary education and research.

The commission unveiled the survey results today. They are based on the European Union-funded study, “Outcome of the Open Consultation on the European Strategy for Nanotechnology,” which was completed in December. "
