Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD) is a strategic approach to develop and evaluate new chemicals and materials and evaluate existing ones, keeping in mind the functionality and minimizing negative impacts on human health and the environment. The European Commission (EC) developed a framework to assess if a chemical substance or material can be considered SSbD. The…
The safety and sustainability of chemicals and materials and their applications are a cornerstone of current EU policy and industrial strategies.Frameworks and criteria for practical implementation of SSBD approaches have been published by the OECD, European Commission, andindustrial actors, such as CEFIC. These will increasingly become premium aspects to access funding and contracts and are…
The MaterialWeek will take place in CrownPlaza Hotel in Limassol, Cyprus from 17th – 21st June 2024. The next good opportunity to strengthen the collaboration and strengthen the community is the NanoWeek 2024, that is not named NanoWeek anymore but MaterialWeek and is organised by 5 sister projects on „characterisation and visualisation“ (HORIZON-CL4-2022-DIGITAL-EMERGING-01-35: Advanced characterisation…
We invite you to participate in the ongoing research on Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD) of Nanomaterials and Advanced Materials and help shape the future of this rapidly evolving field by taking part in a short online survey. Background: the survey is being conducted as part of the project “Safety and Sustainability of Nanomaterials and Advanced Materials”…
NNCO will host the 2023 nanoEHS COR meeting on November 16 and 17 as an in-person event. More information will be available soon.
In almost every conference and meeting, we hear multiple times how important data is and that we should share everything we have and that everything should be easily accessible preferable in a one-stop shop. Even if it is clearly not a solution to address these demands completely, knowing which relevant data resources are available and…
