6th EU-Asia Dialogue on NanoSafety

The 6^th EU-Asia Dialogue on NanoSafetywill be held on 21^st of June 2023 in Berlin, Germany.

The “international network initiative on safe and sustainable nanotechnology” (INISS-nano) is focussing on the collaboration in different fields pertaining to nanotechnology research in general and nano-safety research in particular. This shall  include collaboration in terms of e.g., training, standardisation efforts, test-guidelines development, metrology, commercialisation, ethical aspects, responsible science and research, sustainability, and joint research, supporting governance, regulatory guidance, and of course being open for further joint working items.

The underlying concept paper (Falk et al. 2022: https://zenodo.org/record/6818049#.Y8fX8HbMJaQ ) which is a revision of the first version (published in June 2021), shows descriptions and an action plan for each of these pillars:

• Harmonization
• Support industrial understanding
• Sharing / facilitate sharing of resources / infrastructures
• International collaboration on ethical and societal aspects of nanotechnology
