SUN

The 2015 EU-U.S.: Bridging NanoEHS Research Efforts joint workshop will bring together the U.S.- EU Communities of Research (CORs), which serve as a platform for U.S. and EU scientists to share information on nanoEHS research. The workshop is organized by the European Commission and the U.S. National Nanotechnology Initiative and hosted by Sustainable Nanotechnologies Project (SUN).

Workshop purpose

The purpose of the workshop is to further promote and deepen the EU-U.S. collaboration on nanosafety research. This workshop is intended to review progress toward COR goals and objectives, clarify and communicate future plans, share best practices, and identify areas of cross-COR collaboration.

Target Audience

The workshop aims to engage scientists and policy makers from academia, research institutes, industry and government dealing with nanosafety research. The workshop will build on and complement the findings from the  Sustainable Nanotechnology Conference 2015: A Joint EU – US Conference, which will take place on 9 – 11 March 2015.
