The interdisciplinary workshop ‘Quo Vadis Nanomedicine?’ was held on 10–11 April 2014 at the University of Exeter (Exeter, UK), coorganized by the Schumpeter-Research Group ‘Innovations in Nanomedicine’, funded by the VolkswagenStiftung at Exeter University, and the Sonderforschungsbereich (STB; collaborative research centre) 1066 ‘Nanodimensional Polymer Therapeutics for Tumor Therapy’, funded by the German Research Council (DFG) at the Johannes Gutenberg-University (Mainz, Germany). This international workshop brought together scientists, philosophers and social scientists in order to reflect, discuss and rethink the practices, concepts, methods, models and metaphors, as well as the medical and regulatory needs in current nanomedical research and its possible futures.
