Joint CASG-Nano and ENPRA Workshop
Registered NIA Members are invited to attend the ‘Joint CASG-Nano and ENPRA Workshop on Early Harvest of Research Results on Nanosafety’ (to be held on the 14th and 15th April 2010 at the JRC in Ispra, Italy).
*** Delegate places are limited; please register ASAP, by sending an e-mail to steffi.friedrichs@nanotechia.org. ***
This is an extended invite to join the European Commission’s (DG RTD) ‘Industry Colloquium on NanoSafety Research & Management’ [2](‘Strategic NanoSafety Group’) at its next scheduled meeting in the form of a ‘Research Information’-workshop, in order to:
- drive the consolidation of research efforts on regulatory relevant projects
- provide a platform for the setting of a new action plan for the future collaboration between ‘Strategic and Operational NanoSafety Groups in Europe’ [3]
- meet representatives of the REACH CASG-Nano (Competent Authorities Subgroup on Nanomaterials), who are currently reviewing drafts of ECHA (REACH) Guidelines on ‘Nanomaterials’ (cf. REACH Implementation Plans on Nanomaterials (RIP-oNs))[4]
A short Industry Colloquium Meeting (‘Strategic NanoSafety Group’) itself will be held in the afternoon of the 14th April; the meeting will deciding upon the next steps to shape and support provide the future NanoSafety Research Agenda.
On the 15th April, the REACH Implementation Plan Projects RIP-oN 2 and RIP-oN 3 will hold a case-studies workshop.
*** In order to find out more about the Joint CASG-Nano and ENPRA Workshop (draft agenda available upon request), or to register for the meeting, send an e-mail to steffi.friedrichs@nanotechia.org. Delegate places are limited; please register ASAP. ***

Nanotoxicology 2010
Nanotoxicology 2010 will be held from June 2nd – June 4th 2010,
at Edinburgh Napier University, Edinburgh, Scotland.
The conference will take place over 3 days, and will be divided into sections that allow focus on specific types of nanomaterials.
Each section will include talks spanning disciplines including exposure assessment, characterisation, human toxicology, ecotoxicology and risk assessment.
Such a format will promote interaction between different disciplines and would allow issues specific to certain materials to be addressed.

Over the coming months, the Nanotoxicology 2010 website will be growing.
Further information on program, speakers, registration, abstract submission, venue and accommodation will appear there as soon as it becomes available.
