This paper addresses the benefits of being involved from the start in advising on technology by analyzing the theoretical background of Constructive Technology Assessment. It also describes the cooperative and collaborative activity developed in the design and knowledge transfer throughout the development of the NANOMAC project. Reflective experience has made possible the evolution both of the project and of the methodology of Real-Time Advice in order to implement the ELSI values in the artefacts generated by research projects.
