Workshop: SUNSHINE E-infrastructure for Safe and Sustainable-by-Design of Advanced Multicomponent Nanomaterials

This is an INVITATION ONLY workshop.

The H2020 SUNSHINE project SIA (Safe Innovation Approach) E-infrastructure aims to foster dialogue, collaboration and information exchange between various stakeholders and provide the tools and data needed to develop Safe and Sustainable-by-Design strategies for materials, products and processes involving multicomponent nanomaterials (MCNMs).

To facilitate the e-infrastructure development, this first SUNSHINE stakeholder workshop has the goal to present an early prototype of the SIA E-infrastructure and to align its functionalities with the needs of different stakeholders spanning from regulators to civil society and SME/ Industry to ensure both its long-term sustainability and its applicability for Safe and Sustainable-by-Design approach.

To achieve this, we need your support!

During the workshop, we would like to present our approach and collect your opinion on the draft design of the SIA e-infrastructure.

In this workshop you will learn and discuss:

  • The background and purpose of the SUNSHINE SIA E-infrastructure

  • How the SUNSHINE approach can help to address stakeholder needs

  • We will explore how to ensure the long-term sustainability of the SUNSHINE SIA E-infrastructure

Who should attend?

  • Regulatory compliance officers for chemical manufacturers and importers

  • Formulators and product manufacturers of nano-enabled products

  • Industry and academia representatives in nanotechnology and advanced materials

  • National and regional regulators

  • Policymakers, NGOs, standardisation bodies
