PROJECT
x
DIAGONAL aims to bring new methodologies to guarantee long-term nanosafety along the multicomponent nanomaterials and High Aspect Ratio Nanoparticles life cycle: from design and production to their application into nano-enabled products, the product use and end of life phases.
To be able to do so, DIAGONAL will analyse the materials’ physicochemical properties, toxicology, behaviour, and environmental exposure, as well as human safety along their life cycle. For that, the project will develop and validate multi-scale modelling tools able to predict and characterise nano-specific properties.
Additionally, DIAGONAL will build on seven industrial cases facilitating the re-design of nanomaterials, nano-enabled products design and manufacturing processes. The project will also approach the standardisation of risk management, assessment and governance facilitating their use by industry.

The NSC is a high profile platform for the coordination of nanosafety research in Europe. It provides strategic direction for the EU and member states, enhances synergies between running and newly starting projects, preserves the outputs and data from ended projects and promotes FAIR data.
The non-profit Association, EMMC ASBL, was created in 2019 to ensure continuity, growth and sustainability of EMMC activities for all stakeholders including modellers, materials data scientists, software owners, translators and manufacturers in Europe. The EMMC considers the integration of materials modelling and digitalisation critical for more agile and sustainable product development.
