2nd SUN STAKEHOLDERS’ WORKSHOP 
Seeking User Feedback on SUN Decision Support System

7th October 2015

University Ca’ Foscari Venice (Italy) – campus Via Torino

 

Purpose

The current understanding of the environmental and health risks of manufactured nanomaterials (MN) is still limited, which may result in stagnation of nanotechnology innovation. The EU FP7 Sustainable Nanotechnologies (SUN) project is based on the idea that this knowledge can nevertheless guide nanomanufacturing to avoid liabilities if risk analysis is complemented by a sound socioeconomic analysis in an integrated approach addressing the complete product lifecycle. This is the main rationale behind developing the SUN user-friendly, software-based Decision Support System (SUNDS) for managing the environmental, economic and social impacts of nanotechnologies.
Based on previous rounds of stakeholders’ interviews and a workshop, we have built a conceptual decision framework and methodology and started implementing them into the SUNDS software system. This workshop will present the beta prototype of SUNDS to the intended end users: Representatives of industry, regulatory and insurance sectors, in order to collect their feedbacks for further improvements towards the implementation of the final version of the software by March 2017.

 

Target audience

The workshop is aimed at representatives of industry, regulatory and insurance sectors.
