3rd Annual Workshop of the National Nanosafety Research Network: Nanomaterials in the Environment
3rd Annual Workshop of the National Nanosafety Research Network: Nanomaterials in the Environment
The workshop was organized by SweNanoSafe in cooperation with the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency.
A report that summarize the presentations and discussions from the workshop is found here.
Date: November 17, 2020
Location: Online via Zoom
Time: 09.30 – 15.30
Participants: academia, governmental authorities, funding agencies, industry, non-governmental organizations etc.
Moderator: Lennart Gisselsson, Lund University
Keynote speaker: Richard Handy, University of Plymouth, UK
Background:
The national nanosafety platform SweNanoSafe, commissioned by the Ministry of the Environment, launched a national network for scientists from academia and industry with an interest in nanosafety. Two workshops have been organized at Karolinska Institutet (2018) and Lund university (2019), respectively, and this year (2020) a virtual workshop is hosted by Göteborgs university and co-organized with the Swedish EPA (Naturvårdsverket). The focus is on nanomaterials in the environment, and the national plastic coordination assignment (microplastics) will be introduced.
