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
