European Centre for Risk Management and Safe Innovation in Nanomaterials Nanotechnologies (EC4SafeNano)

Start date: Nov 1, 2016, End date: Oct 31, 2019,

A significant challenge to ensuring sustainable production and use of nanotechnologies is to understand safety and health risks of the technology and its end-products, and to implement practical strategies to manage these risks. Knowledge is growing rapidly, but effective use of this knowledge for risk management is lagging behind. We therefore need to bridge the gap between knowledge on hazard an ...

Smart Resilience Indicators for Smart Critical Infrastructures (SmartResilience)

Start date: May 1, 2016, End date: Apr 30, 2019,

"Modern critical infrastructures are becoming increasingly “smarter” (e.g. cities). Making the infrastructures “smarter” usually means making them smarter in normal operation and use: more adaptive, more intelligent… But will these smart critical infrastructures (SCIs) behave equally “smartly” and be “smartly resilient” also when exposed to extreme threats, such as extreme weather disasters or ter ...

Development and implementation of Grouping and Safe-by-Design approaches within regulatory frameworks (NanoREG II)

Start date: Sep 1, 2015, End date: Aug 31, 2018,

One of the greatest challenges facing regulators in the ever changing landscape of novel nano-materials is how to design and implement a regulatory process which is robust enough to deal with a rapidly diversifying system of manufactured nanomaterials (MNM) over time. Not only does the complexity of the MNM present a problem for regulators, the validity of data decreases with time, so that the wel ...
