  1. NSC WG:E INNOVATION Chair Andrew Nelson Deputy. Claire Skentelbery (NIA)

  2. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES • Aim: to seek out innovations within EU projects suitable for industrial application and ask for input on further goals of the working group • Objectives: • to step forward to support innovation for industry • to target not only industrial scale but also SMEs • to push nanotechnology towards the market by utilising the knowledge already gathered. • to push research results towards publicly available know-how. • upscaling safety testing. • to encourage the move to high-throughput testing since this is more appropriate to end users

  3. FUNCTION • WG:E provides a platform:- • for scientists to provide updates on innovation in nanosafety developments arising (mostly from EU funded) nanosafety projects • to address environmental, health, and safety questions about nanomaterials and how these can be translated to the “real world” • to identify gaps in knowledge and research priorities especially with respect to bridging the gap between end users, regulators and innovators • to summarize the achievements of NSC projects on innovation for example to facilitate NSC reviews • to seek commonalities in all NSC projects relating to the transferring of research to end users, regulators and manufacturers

  4. STRUCTURE • WG:E Innovation • New group within NSC • Two telecon meetings in June and September • Sub-group 1. Chemical Safety by Design (CSbD) • CSbD has already held two telecons, written short report and hosted a meeting last week in Vienna. • Minutes from all meetings are available on request
