Date: November 29th, 2021
The final program is available here.
Openly available workshop recordings.
Among the speakers:
Dr. Andrea Haase, Head of the Unit Fibre and Nanotoxicology, Department of Chemical and Product Safety, German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR)
Dr. Lya Hernandez-Soeteman, Senior risk assessor, Dutch National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM), and Lead expert in the OECD Working Party on Manufactured Nanomaterials (WPMN) Safe Innovation Approach Steering Group
Dr. Xenia Trier, Expert on Chemicals, Environment and Human Health at European Environment Agency (EEA)
Dr. Mar Gonzalez, Secretariat to the WPMN, Environment Directorate, Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD)
Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD) is based on the consideration and minimization of uncertainties and risks to human health and the environment from an early stage of the innovation process and throughout the lifecycle of the innovation product. The concept of SSbD stems from the development of safe-by-design approaches within the nanosafety field (e.g. in projects such as NANoREG and ProSafe), and is a component of the Safe(r) Innovation Approach (SIA) for more sustainable nanomaterials and nano-enabled products, which was recently described in detail by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). This workshop aims to orient Swedish authorities in the ongoing development and implementation of the SSbD concept to face regulatory challenges related to nano- (and advanced) materials with the purpose of advancing circular economy.
