The Center for Nanotechnology in Society at Arizona State University (CNS-ASU) is a Nano-scale Science and Engineering Center (NSEC), funded by the US National Science Foundation and dedicated to research, training and outreach on the societal aspect of nanotechnology and other emerging technologies. Its work is motivated by a vision of the anticipatory governance of emerging technologies through building capacities for foresight, public engagement, and socio-technical integration. The Virtual Institute for Responsible Innovation (VIRI), also funded by US NSF, is an associated project of CNS-ASU, with Guston as its principal investigator and Fisher as its co-principal investigator.
