Mundo nano [online]. 2012, vol.5, n.9, pp.81-96.  Epub 30-Ago-2021. ISSN 2448-5691.  https://doi.org/10.22201/ceiich.24485691e.2012.9.45238.

Analysis of social perception on nanoscience and nanotechnology state of the art and implications is presented as a result of a wide survey carried out at Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana Iztapalapa, Universidad de las Américas Puebla, Escuela Superior de Ingeniería Mecánica y Eléctrica Culhuacán, Escuela Superior de Comercio y Administración Tepepan and the Centro de Investigación y de Estudios Avanzados, north and south units. Four hundred and 64 interviews were applied to students and teachers.

Data follows the survey scheme used on a previous study for UNAM’s Ciudad Universitaria campus social perception that has been published on volume 4, No. 1 of this journal. Some small modifications have been done in order to fit the survey to all institutes and universities contexts. We conclude by supporting the effortand interest of promoting responsible science and technology in our country. Studies like this have the purpose of detecting the degree of (dis)interest on science and technology of the high education level community and the ways its development is perceived. The goal: Contributing with an analysis considered useful for any attempt to revert disinformation.
