The Specific Objectives of the NANOGENTOOLS Autumn EU School “Advanced Training in understanding the safety of nanomaterials” are the following:

• Discuss the need of regulation and safety for the 21th Century generation of Nanotech-based products and materials.
• Train the next generations in advanced techniques for nanosafety assessment, guiding them into the key concept of “Safe by Design”.

The NANOGENTOOLS Autumn EU School “Advanced Training in understanding the safety of nanomaterials” intends to: 

• Awake the curiosity of young researchers in the related subject.
• Create a creative, intergenerational forum to discuss the development of nanoscience and its implications on human and environmental health.
• Highlight the advantages of MSCA RISE perspective, showing the main hits gathered in the frame of the project thanks to the potential of interinstitutional cooperation.

This major event is being supported by the NANOGENTOOLS Consortium

NANOGENTOOLS is an excellence science initiative under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie program aiming to develop and implement a new generation of nanosafety assessment tools, thanks to an intensive staff exchange between key research institutions, industry and relevant platforms like the Nanotechnology Industries Association. Its main objective is to provide solutions for faster, more reliable assessment of Nanomaterials (NM) toxicity and propose HTS, biophysically-based, and omics tools for predicting long-term toxicological properties of NMs.
