CRN is pleased and proud to announce that we have been designated as "Best Advocate" and "Best of the Best" for 2003 by Nanotechnology Now.

The Center for Responsible Nanotechnology was founded by Mike Treder and Chris Phoenix in December 2002. In our first year, we published numerous papers and articles, made presentations at several conferences, addressed the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, provided invited submissions to the British Royal Society and the American Council for the United Nations University, and energized discussion of nanotechnology policy issues.

The vision of CRN is a world in which nanotechnology is widely used for productive and beneficial purposes, and where malicious uses are limited by effective administration of the technology. Thanks to everyone who supported us, encouraged us, and challenged us in 2003.

We will continue to study, clarify, and research the issues involved — political, economic, military, humanitarian, and technological. CRN remains motivated to provide well-grounded and complete information, clear explanations, and workable proposals. The need is acute, and we welcome your continued participation in this vitally urgent effort.
