A new Horizon Magazine feature article discusses how tracking the environmental exposure of the emerging nanomaterial industry could prevent potentially harmful chemicals from polluting soil and water, and how NanoFASE, alongside other EU-funded projects, is working towards achieving these goals. Safer sun cream, energy-s...
As providers of nanomaterials, both industrial ones for real world relevance and bespoke synthesized NMs to allow more controlled experiments suitable for parameterization of the models, WP3 leaders Iseult Lynch and Marianne Matzke have an excellent overview of the project activities. As we approach the mid-point of the NanoF...
Every six months the NanoFASE Consortium gets together for an intensive in-person session discussing and planning the smooth execution of future research. One and a half years into the project, in March 2017 partners had the opportunity to gather in Aveiro, Portugal and not only measure current achievements but also take impo...

The newly started European Commission LIFE project NanoMONITOR addresses the challenges of supporting the risk assessment of nanomaterials under REACH by development of a real-time information and monitoring system. Despite the growing number of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) already available on the market and in contra...
From nanosafety research to operational tools for the nanotechnology industry Industrial Technologies 2016 (22-24.06.2016, Amsterdam) is the largest networking conference in the field of new production technologies, materials, nanotechnology, biotechnology and digitalisation in Europe, with more than 200 speakers and...
We asked our early stage researchers to tell us a bit about themselves and the work they will be conducting as part of the NanoFASE project. This week we feature Véronique Adam from EMPA, who is working with Bernd Nowack. Check out Véronique's profile to learn more about her work in NanoFASE and her rese...
The group Young NanoScientists is an initiative that aims to foster collaboration and exchange of ideas between young aspiring researchers in the field of nanotechnology. We welcome members from across the NanoSafety cluster and beyond, all we require is your enthusiasm and interest in the relevant field. Watch...
The German big-data and knowledge management company Biomax, who is already operating the NanoMILE KnowledgeBase on hazard characterization of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs), has agreed with the NanoMILE coordinator and NanoFASE partner University of Birmingham, to extend the KnowledgeBase to cover also the additional aspect...
Next week NanoFASE partners from the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (CEH) and the University of Vienna will be presenting a modelling framework for the transport, transformation and bio-uptake of manufactured nanoparticles in the aquatic environment at the European Geosciences Union General Assembly 2016 (http://www.egu2016...
We asked our early stage researchers to tell us a bit about themselves and the work they will be conducting as part of the NanoFASE project. The latest participant in our rubric is Zahra Khodaparast who is working with Dr. Susana Loureiro at the University of Aveirois, Portugal. Learn more about Zahra's involveme...
At the Hands-on Workshop on Nanosafety Assessment organized by the FP7 project eNanoMapper with FP7 and H2020 projects SUN, GuideNano and NanoFASE in Basel on 10/02/2016, Claus Svendsen (NERC, NanoFASE coordinator) co-chaired the session on exposure. Building on results from the past NanoFATE project, Claus, Ric...
Good news! If you haven’t already submitted your abstract for the 2016 annual conference for the International Society of Exposure Science there is still time do so as the deadline has been extended to the 27th March. Joris Quik, our NanoFASE colleague from RIVM in the Netherland...
NanoFASE PhD candidates welcome young scientists currently active throughout the nanotech field! The aim of the Young_NanoScientists networking group is to promote cooperation and interactions between pre- and post-doctoral scientists, during FP7 or H2020 project lifetimes and beyond. We welcome membe...
The NanoFASE project provides an opportunity for young scientists to develop their expertise in the disciplines necessary to assess and predict the environmental fate of nanomaterials and so we thought we would introduce you to some of our new colleagues who are embarking on their careers in the nanosciences. First in the...
NanoFASE has marked the start of a 4-year collaboration to create an integrated Framework for Exposure Assessment of nanomaterials released in the environment. Our kick-off meeting in Oct. 2015 gathered representatives from many of our 42 partners from across Europe and outside the Old Continent. Over the course of 3 days...
