Advanced nanomaterials (Ad-NMs) offer immense benefits to the industrial sector. They could revolutionise the industry if used efficiently. In fact, their use could improve services and speed up the transition to greener technologies throughout most sectors. Unfortunately, the lack of technologies and methods for Ad-NM hazard and risk evaluation has hindered their growth and overall demand. The EU-funded POTENTIAL project aims to change that by developing an efficient methodology for investigating, testing and assessing risks and hazards across Ad-NM innovations. To improve its effectiveness, the project will collaborate with current Horizon initiatives, European partners and standardisation organisations.
