All day
March 3, 2015 – March 4, 2015
The Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) organizes the first training school on nanotechnologies, which is specifically dedicated to per-sons involved in risk assessment and regulation of nanomaterials.
The frequent use of nanomaterials (NM) for vari-ous applications creates new challenges with respect to risk assessment and regulation. This training school will give a state of the art overview on NM characterization, NM toxicity testing, ex-posure assessment as well as NM risk assessment and will also discuss methodological limita-tion and future needs and challenges. The con-cept of this training school was developed together with the EU FP7 project QualityNano.
This training school is in particular dedicated to persons involved in risk assessment and regulation of nanomaterials. It is free of charge. Registration is necessary as places are limited. Please register by 15th February 2015 using the internet form under menu item “events” on www.bfr.bund.de/en/events.html
Please note that after this training school there is a possibility to attend a symposium on nanotechnol-ogy, taking place on 5 and 6 March 2015 at BfR. However, this symposium requires a separate reg-istration.
