The present report analyses the research trajectories and institutional settings of the new converging technologies paradigm. It summarizes the collective work on Work Package 1 (WP1) of the KNOWLEDGE NBIC project that was carried out between 1 April 2006 and 30 September 2007 by the project team in Austria, France, Germany, Israel, Poland, the UK and on transnational level.
The aim of WP1 was to provide a coherent historical narrative and overview of the overall research trajectories of the NBIC fields, i.e. nanotechnology, biotechnology, information science and cognitive science, and of their interfaces in technological convergence.
