SSbD Approaches for Chemicals, Advanced Materials and Plastics

Venice is calling: Learn about nanosafety in the historic centre of Venice, Italy, from 14–19 May 2023! #venicenano23

This year’s sessions will be around the following topics:

> Safe-and-sustainable-by-design approaches for nanomaterials and advanced materials 

> Environmental and health impacts of micro and nano plastics

> Physicochemical  characterisation methods for advanced materials

> Methods to assess the release of advanced materials, their fate, biodistribution and exposure

> New approach methodologies (NAMs) for hazard assessment of advanced materials

> FAIR data management in nanoinformatics 

> Computational modelling of properties and interactions

> Sustainability assessment methods (environmental, social and economic)

> How to make my method ready for regulatory acceptance?

> Policy perspectives  on risk governance of nanotechnologies

> Science diplomacy: The role of interdisciplinarity in SSbD

Additionally, there will be several possibilities to network with the experts and other participants.

The school is organised by various EU-funded research projects and other initiatives led by the H2020 project SUNSHINE. It offers hands-on sessions to learn State-of-the-Art knowledge from key experts in the field.
