The outcome of the NanoToxClass project will be presented during the final public conference on February 14the and 15th at the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment…
School Purpose The Training School, organised within the EU funded Horizon 2020 projects BIORIMA and GRACIOUS, will take place in the historic centre of Venice, Italy on 25-29 March 2019. The school aims to transfer State-of-the-Art knowledge on a variety of topics from key experts to the new generation of nano-environmental, health and safety, and biomedicine professionals, using interprofessional…
The H2020 project ACEnano aims to introduce confidence, adaptability and clarity into nanomaterial risk assessment, by developing a widely implementable and robust tiered approach to nanomaterials physicochemical characterisation that will simplify and facilitate contextual (hazard or exposure) description and its transcription into a reliable nanomaterials grouping framework. ACEnano will introduce its plan for external training…
The e-infrastructure project OpenRiskNet developing a platform providing data and modelling tools for predictive toxicology and risk assessment, is entering its second stage, in which the platform is made accessible to everyone. In the first phase, we developed advanced concepts and implemented these into the first version of the platform including building and deploying of…
Nanomaterials are man-made materials of a size thousands of times smaller than the width of a human hair. They have fascinated scientists and industry with their unique and unpredictable properties, which have given rise to an endless variety of new applications in every sector of technology and medicine. As a result, an ever-increasing number of…
