Dear NanoSafety Cluster members and stakeholders,

Please find attached the latest News Bulletin from the NanoSafety Cluster, issued by popular demand to disseminate some urgent news items.

The NSC News section reports on the NSC Face-to-Face Meeting & ECHA Data Harmonisation Workshop, which took place earlier this month in Brussels. Project News describes the successful completion of NanoDefine along its latest results, as well as updates on the OpenRisknet and NANO SAFE LEATHER initiatives.

In this edition’s events section, there are a number of meetings and conferences with imminent deadlines for registration. These include the Conference for the Categorisation of Next Generation Nanomaterials, OpenTox Euro 2017, and a call for participation in the 1st Nano Olympiad, to be held in Tehran. These are followed by news of forthcoming workshops, webinars and additional conferences. Finally, don’t miss the research opportunity announced on p15.

On behalf the NanoSafety Cluster dissemination team, thank you once again for your contributions – we hope you find this edition useful.

Kind regards

Lesley

About the NanoSafety Cluster

The EU NanoSafety Cluster maximises the synergies between European-level projects addressing the safety of materials and technologies enabled by the use of nanoparticles. The studied aspects include toxicology, ecotoxicology, exposure assessment, mechanisms of interaction, risk assessment and standardisation.

The Cluster is an initiative of the European Commission Directorate-General for Research and Innovation (DG RTD), which sponsors these large projects. Overall, Europe targets safe and sustainable nanomaterials and nanotechnology innovations. Cluster projects contribute to assuring environmental health and safety (EHS) of this Key Enabling Technology.

The Cluster also is an open platform for dialogue and exchange. Researchers, regulators, administrators, industry, civil society representatives... if you have an interest in EHS and nanotechnology, you are very welcome to participate in Cluster activities whether or not you are a partner in formal European projects.

This site is your gateway to the Cluster projects. Explore the menu, read our Compendium, subscribe to our rich Newsletter, keep up to date with events, submit your own nano-EHS related news or invitations to meetings.
