For the development of a common understanding for innovation in lifenanosciences through interdisciplinarity.

Research is more and more divided up into scientific disciplines leading to difficulties to associate different specialized knowledge, inside projects of public usefulness. Objectives: The object of this essay is to explore this topic by applying it to a domain supported by decision-makers, that of nanotechnologies and particularly their development as nano-drugs for medical applications. The choice of this selected topic corresponds to an ambivalent situation: rejection of new risks induced by the development of industrial production of nano-systems and need of new medical treatments leading to the improvement of the citizen health, including nano-medicine. The presentation is meant to be interrogative with open questions. Methodology: The author, consequently, wish to receive your opinions and some comments, you active readers who act in the joint domains of research and prevention of medical risks. Results: Your answers will be the object of a synthesis which will be later published in “Prevention and Research” in a few months. The reader vision is of course of importance in a media system presently stimulated by active associations in which the scientists have a too little space of expression. Conclusions: No final conclusion is proposed in this essay, only a Provisory closure called: For an operational proposal
