| Abstract: | While several studies on the public opinion of nanotechnology have pointed to a rather enthusiastic U.S. public, the public
uptake of nanotechnology in Europe is more contained. The results of the Swiss publifocus on nanotechnology reveal a pragmatic attitude of citizens toward the emerging technologies, thus confirming what has been
identified as a “balanced approach” in the NanoJury UK.
