For the past four years, the EU-funded Horizon 2020 NMBP-16 projects DIAGONAL, HARMLESS and SUNSHINE addressing the call topic “Safe by design, from science to regulation: multi-component nanomaterials”, worked closely together on the challenges related to safe and sustainable multicomponent nanomaterials.
As they are coming to an end, the three sister projects organised their Public Final Event on Wednesday, 25 September 2024, right after the NanoTox 2024 conference in Venice (Italy).
The dynamic 90-minute session showcased the ambitious goals and key achievements of the three projects. Attendees got an overview of the objectives and core elements of each one of the projects, as well as their complementary perspectives. In addition, participants gained insight into key features, main results and special focus topics. Next to that, selected case studies of each individual project were presented and discussed. An open discussion with all participants on the legacy of the projects’ outcomes raised many ideas to ensure that all those results are available for ongoing/future projects and researchers.
