Ireland has a global reputation for leadership in nanotechnology, with three of its largest industries directly impacted by nano-science: Medical devices, pharmaceutical drugs, and information and communications technology.
Worldwide, nanotechnology is a major driver of economic growth and, while its overall contribution to world GDP is disputed, conservative estimates suggest it is a multibillion-dollar sector in high growth. That said, concerns over the risk posed by this emerging technology threaten to derail the bandwagon.
It is difficult to underestimate the potential of insurance in terms of improving the resilience of the commercial entities that make up the commercial nanotech sector and, by extension, its centrality to the very sustainability of that industry. The importance of SMEs at strategic junctures of the value chain of the sector further emphasises the importance of risk transfer.
SMEs in this sector are vulnerable to changes in risk perception on the part of key stakeholders, particularly the insurance sector. Without the ability to transfer risk or indeed access to insurance markets, the viability of many SMEs operating in this sector is questionable.
The nexus of a regulation, law, and insurance in many jurisdictions, particularly in the areas of workers compensation and environmental liability, means that without insurance operations, nanotech activity may be curtailed.
The ability to communicate risk effectively also has a major impact on regulators and investors, both key communities that sustain nanotechnology in Europe. In the medium term, maintaining, indeed creating, a vibrant sector will require an effective and robust risk-assessment tool.
To this end, researchers at the University of Limerick have assembled a consortium that includes some of the major players in risk governance and nanotech data from across Europe. The combination of major insurance syndicates, together with blue chip IT involvement in the area of artificial intelligence, represents an unprecedented joint effort to fulfil the long-standing ambition to create a state-of-the-art risk governance tool for the nanotech sector.
The contested nature of the nanotech toxicology/exposure field makes this an ideal case for a big data tool. The ability to analyse metadata represents a major step forward in terms of the risk governance of nanotech and of emerging technology more generally
The multidisciplinary team at UL effectively acts as a bridging point between the scientific community and those stakeholders that require more effective risk assessment. A deeper understanding and more granular view of the economic ecosystem that sustains the nanotech sector is an essential prerequisite for effective risk governance.
Our strategic goal is to develop a tool which will place the industry on a more sustainable footing. This will allow interested parties and key stakeholders to efficiently categorise risks pertaining to the sector. At the same time this project will address the key issue of nascent catastrophic risk.

BBC bosses have sparked outrage by broadcasting documentary film Historic film is presented by notorious child sex campaigner Ian Dunn One of 30 archive films on website telling history of gay rights movement Portrays Dunn as a legitimate gay rights activist and makes no reference to his role in setting up the reviled Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE) BBC say film is significant and refused to remove it from their website Campaigners say decision is 'horrifying' and shows contempt for victims
By Marc Horne and Martin Beckford for The Mail on Sunday

The documentary is presented by Ian Dunn (pictured) one of the founders of the reviled Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE)
BBC bosses have sparked outrage by broadcasting a historic film presented by a notorious child sex campaigner and have refused requests to remove it from the internet.
The documentary is presented by Ian Dunn, one of the founders of the Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE), which campaigned to legalise sex with children.
It is one of 30 archive films on the BBCs website telling the history of the gay rights movement.
The 30-minute documentary Glad To Be Gay? portrays Dunn as a legitimate gay rights activist and makes no reference to his role in setting up the reviled group.
Victims of child abuse described as horrifying the decision to upload the film.
When The Mail on Sunday contacted the BBC to point out the documentary was causing offence, the broadcaster refused to take it down on the grounds that it is a significant work on the history of gay rights.

Newswise Chicago, IllinoisThe American Academy of Pain Medicine (AAPM) is pleased to announce its 2015 Pain Medicine Fellowship Excellence Award Recipients in recognition of a Pain Medicine Fellowship Program that provides an exceptional learning experience to its fellows, preparing them to deliver the highest standard of care to patients with pain. This year the Academy recognizes two programs: Mayo Clinic and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
Recipient programs will be honored on Saturday, March 21, 2015 at AAPMs Annual Meeting in National Harbor, MD, where more than 1,000 scientists, physicians and key nonphysician providers convene to discuss and learn the latest in Pain Medicine.
Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Brookline, MA The Division of Pain Medicine at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) operates a comprehensive pain management center, a comprehensive headache center and jointly operates the BIDMC Spine Center. The Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center Pain Medicine Fellowship Program accepts eight fellows each year. The twelve-month fellowship includes intensive training in evaluation and treatment of pain, instruction in the technique of somatic and sympathetic blocks, intra-spinal catheters and pumps, neurolytic blocks, radiofrequency ablation, cryoanalgesia and spinal cord stimulation. Fellows spend time on both the Chronic Pain Service and Acute Pain Service, with ample time allotted for didactic sessions and multidisciplinary meetings at BIDMC and other Harvard teaching hospitals. Successful completion leads to certification eligibility by the American Board of Anesthesiology.
AAPM extends its congratulations to Christine Peeters-Asdourian, MD, Program Director, the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center Pain Medicine Fellowship Program and its faculty and staff.
Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN The Mayo Clinic Pain Medicine Fellowship Program accepts four fellows each year. The Pain Medicine Fellowship focuses on teaching its fellows a multi-disciplinary team approach to managing patients pain. As a result they receive instruction and supervision from physicians board certified in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Anesthesiology, Radiology, Psychology and Neurology. All of these physicians also have completed fellowship training in pain medicine, giving our fellows unique insight into optimal management of patients with various pain conditions. Highlights of the Mayo Clinic Pain Medicine Fellowship include simulation exercises aimed at improving the pain fellows responses to emergency situations and controlled exposure to difficult conversations with standardized patients, cadaver based surgical skills and procedure mastery lab, clinically based research exposure in multiple areas of pain medicine and a comprehensive weekly didactic. In addition, fellows receive exposure to a wide array of acute, chronic, and cancer-associated pain patients.
AAPM extends its congratulations to Bryan C. Hoelzer, MD, Program Director, the Mayo Clinic Pain Medicine Fellowship Program and its faculty and staff.
