The NSC employs a dynamic, flexible and adaptable structure, which aims to promote and cover the current and emerging nanosafety research needs and serve public interest.
The NSC structure, seeing schematically below, is based on four main pillars:
The four pillars work together and independently to promote nanosafety research, public engagement, create strategic collaborations and enhancing synergies between the NSC, and beyond, projects and explore potential international opportunities. Besides the continuous work taking place within the NSC’s bodies, two main NSC actions also exist:
The whole NSC structure is supported during its day to day activities through the Secretariat, who is responsible for arranging the SG and CT teleconferences and keep minutes, designing, developing and maintaining the website and assisting with NSC events and actions organisation and execution.
