Conference on Tools and Tests for Safer-by-Design Nanomaterials
18-20 SEPTEMBER 2023
Braga - Portugal
Braga - Portugal
About
This year's conference is being organised by the SBDToolbox Project and will address the most promising methods and tools to obtain the relevant data encompassing the specific properties that differentiate nanomaterials from chemicals. We will pay special attention to the particular needs of the diverse impact and application areas, namely health, food or environment and their relationship in the integrative context of ONE HEALTH.
This unique event on Tools and Tests for Safer-by-Design Nanomaterials will bring together researchers, policy-makers and industry in a full programme with insightful plenaries, invited talks, and networking opportunities focused on:
Nanomaterials regulatory framework: What’s new? What’s next?
New models and tools for nanomaterials hazard characterization: in silico, in vitro, organ-on-a-chip
Nanomaterials risk assessment in the context of ONE HEALTH: nanomaterials analysis in the food chain and environmental risk.
Join us. Be part of this exciting event!
