Safe & Sustainable by Design Workshop at NanoInnovation 2022
On Wednesday, September 21, 14:00–15:30, SbD4Nano one of our fellow EU projects, Gov4Nano, a project on nano risk governance, will hold the workshop “Beyond state of the art, through Safe and Sustainable Development approaches for materials development” together, as a part of the NanoInnovation conference in Rome, Italy.
The workshop will showcase experiences and activities at European and national level on the Safe and Sustainable Development of materials. Case studies from Gov4Nano, Sbd4Nano, Sunshine, SAbyNA, BBI-JU Mandala and other EU research projects will be presented.
The safety and sustainability of chemicals and materials and their applications is a cornerstone of current EU policy and industrial strategies. Policy makers and industrial actors are working to identify frameworks and criteria for the practical implementation of the Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability (CSS), and these will increasingly become premium aspects to access funding and contracts. Nanomaterials provide an exemplar of initial implementation of SSbD.
The workshop will reflect on the recent policy discussion at EU at national level and will provide examples and case studies from research and production processes and will illustrate findings of Gov4Nano and other EU projects on the matter.
The workshop is also open to both innovators and risk managers in research organizations, companies, institutions and other organizations active and interested in the safety and sustainability of advanced materials, nanomaterial and related products.
