Organized every two years since 2008, NANOSAFE Conference is intended for sharing latest research results on health and safety issues related to nanomaterials and beyond for a socially responsible approach. This special edition will be organized in partnership with the Labex SERENADE with the ambition to cover the newest findings concerning Safer- and Eco-Designed innovative nanomaterials.
NanoSafety Cluster (NSC) Education Day @ NanoSAFE, 16 Nov 2020
Intention:
This day shall act as guidance for the entire NanoSafety community, including young researchers, to highlight how individual research projects fit as a puzzle piece into the wider picture. It shall be an orientation-giving and educational event depicting the overall strategy behind NanoSafe(ty).
For participation in the NanoSafety Cluster Education Day please register here.
Means to achieve this:
to offer a WG-overarching education/communication/discussion event involving the audience via interactive sessions;
to layout ways to go beyond with anything the nanosafety community have learned/developed to serve the emerging topics of Horizon Europe (emerging contaminants incl. microplastics, nanomedicine, safety assessment of novel/innovative/advanced materials for future along their entire life cycle);
to foster participation in creating better sustainable materials (than e.g. nanosilver in socks), technologies, medical approaches, etc.
to exhibit the perspectives of the NSC Working Groups and the different currently ongoing projects;
to be as interactive as possible using hands-on activities, e.g., by showing how-to operate e-tools, upload/retrieve data to/from repositories & perform models;
to facilitate vivid contribution to discussions using survey tools such as Mentimeter, WooClap, VoxVote, etc.
to offer different perspectives in pro/contra discussions, e.g., by defining challenger - defender roles taken by experts on specific topics or evtl. by dividing attendees into zoom breakout rooms
to show application of emerging NRG frameworks or SbD tools;
to request feedback to user interfaces and enable stakeholder involvement
