Abstract

Abstract A major challenge for the global nanotechnology sector is the development of safe and functional engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) and nano-enabled products (NEPs). In order to minimise the risks to human and environmental health during the engineering of NEPs the goal of the Safe-by-Design for Nano (SbD4Nano) project is to create a novel e-infrastructure for the definition, performance testing and implementation of Safe-by-Design (SbD) approaches in the nanotechnology supply chains. The project aims to demonstrate how selecting appropriate surface modification of nanomaterials can reduce the hazard and risk to workers, consumers and the environment whilst maintaining its functionality. The presentation will give an introduction to the project and outline the results generated thus far. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No. 862195
