Hi everyone,
I am happy to be the new chair of the EU NanoSafety Cluster (NSC) Working Group ‘Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD), Innovation & Regulation’!
I am actually quite honored that the NSC Steering Group entrusted such a central and important WG to me. The responsibility is high: to facilitate channeling the incredible achievements of the EU NanoSafety Community into the fast expanding SSbD area of research and practical implementation.
I know for sure that our NanoSafety community is the mother of SSbD because I was there when it all started, already a decade ago. It is very clear though that after this concept was taken up in the EU policies, it now involves also other communities. Therefore, the job is now to build bridges also with these communities. This is not only to amplify the impact of our achievements, which will be a clear outcome. In fact, working together will bring us closer to the dream of safe and sustainable innovation, not only at home (the EU) but in the world!
I can say a lot more, but to keep the story short, what we are going to do is written here: https://www.nanosafetycluster.eu/nsc-publication-roadmap-safe-and-sustainable-advanced-and-innovative-materials-2024-2030/
Enjoy reading!
