"The fact is, that people are in these days overloaded by information and it is not easy, or better it is not possible to read all newspapers, web info servers etc., moreover for media, in general, the nanotechnology is not the main topic for the evening news. As a result of that, we live in a society which roughly know what nanotechnology is. Also somehow there is a lack of people with technical skills on the labor market – a combination of lack of interest for technical education and growing demand for technically educated people could be a devastating impact on the industry within the EU. Employees, employers, young adults as well as VET/UNI students do not have enough information as well, there is not enough communication, support and political influence to solve this situation. What is nanotechnology exactly? Almost nobody knows the right answer, sure, everyone will imagine ""really small something which is useful for something"". With this project we want to fight against the ""something"" and educate general public, adults, vet´s, uni´s about the nanotechnology and the fact, that´s already here, everywhere around us. What is the most important message for everyone is, that nanotechnology is NOT one of the technology..., truth is, that the nanotechnology os the future in several branches and it will not take long time and nanotechnology will be all around us! With Nanotechnology NOW! we want to offer a standardized non-academic knowledge base with the learning material to spread out the information about the 4th industrial revolution within the EU. National contexts will be taken into account as well as transnational contexts. The knowledge platform audience will be able to get into the core of the nanotechnology, understand its content and will be able to transform achieved information in their work, companies, future studies or/and everyday life.PROJECT AIMSThe project aims to spread information and innovation, which delivers nanotechnology. The specific content - knowledge base - comes from deep researches and analysis (legislature, web, educational systems) and surveys (adults, employers, employees). This unique knowledge base will be implemented in the online knowledge platform. Following the feedback from the manufacturing companies - all information will be adjusted for optimum readability and then transferred to the knowledge platform. The final platform will be a valuable tool for spreading information among the target group. Everyone would find there a lot of new information which will give them a better chance to find a job, motivate them for further studies etc. The platform could be also an inspiration for employees of manufacturing companies who can find there useful information which can help them to implement innovative elements in their companies. The knowledge base can be also used by - VET schools and Universities.
