These countries have developed EXPONANO which, in addition to scientific information, presents the opinions of several fields and addresses the concerns of the public at large. The Catalan version of the exhibition is an action item of the Programme of the PCB funded by the Ministry of Education and Science, the Departament for Education and Universities of the Generalitat de Catalunya and the European project .

The local results obtained will be presented at the faculties of Chemistry and Physics during December, and results obtained in the diverse participant countries will be shown in a conference to be held in February 2007 in Brussels.
