  3. Project Details Project Overview • Project Title: NANOfutures: A cross-ETP Coordination Initiative on nanotechnology • Project Acronym: NANOfutures • Contract No.: NMP4-CA-2010-266789 • Start Date: 1 October 2010 • End Date: 30 September 2012 • Duration: 24 months • EC Contribution: 1MEuro • Project Partners: • D’Appolonia (Project and Administrative Coordinator) • NANOfutures Association (Technical Coordinator) • Fundacion Prodintec

  4. Project Details Project Overview • Within NANOfutures Association: • MBN Nanomaterialia (MBN) • Fraunhofer-IPA (IPA) • MicroTEC • Centro Ricerche Fiat (CrF) • Technische Universitaet Dresden (TUD) • Centre for Research and Technology of Hellas (CERTH) • Institute of Occupational Medicine (IOM) They are active as third parties in the project (WG chairs). • Voluntary Companies acting as WG chairs: • Steptoe and Johnson's • Bayer • Steering Committee: WG chairs + ETP representatives

  5. Project Aims Project Overview The aims of NANOfutures CA within the project duration are: • to identify and optimize synergies between European and National Platforms, research programmes, JTI, ERA-NETs and other CSAs and research projects related to nanotechnology, in order to reduce the fragmentation of the European nanotechnology and coordinate future strategies. • to identify key strategic nanotechnology nodes addressing issues of cross-sectional and nano-specific relevance for the innovation and rapid uptake of nanotechnologies in order to increase EU competitiveness . • to construct and disseminate an integrated Industrial and Research Roadmap for European Nanotechnology, including a medium term detailed implementation plan.

  6. Project Overview WG Groups • The identification and development of the strategic key nodes will be achieved by means of close interactions between horizontal groups and ETP representatives • NANOfutureshorizontal working groups are: • RESEARCH / TECHNOLOGY • INDUSTRIALIZATION/ nano-MANUFACTURING • COMMUNICATION • SAFETY RESEARCH • INDUSTRIAL SAFETY STRATEGY • INDUSTRIAL NANOSAFETY STRATEGY GROUP • STANDARDIZATION • REGULATION • TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER and INNOVATION FINANCING • NETWORKING • SKILLS AND EDUCATION

  7. Project Overview ETP representatives • 11 ETPs signed the Memorandum of Understanding, in order to declare their support to NANOfutures. These ETPs are representative of several industrial sectors: • Textiles (FTC); • Nanomedicine (NANOMEDICINE); • Chemistry (SusChem); • Construction (ECTP); • Nanoelectronics (ENIAC); • Nanomanufacturing (MINAM and MANUFUTURE); • Transportation (ERTRAC); • Advanced engineering materials and technologies ( EUMAT); • Photonics (PHOTONICS21); • Industrial Safety (ETPIS).

  8. Links with other EU initiatives Close collaboration with supporting CSAs and other EU initiatives

  9. WG Mission, Vision and Activities Chair: Rob Aitken Co-Chair: Michael Riediker Lausanne 16th Feb 2011 First WG Meeting

  10. This WG aims to improve knowledge concerning the risks / exposure/ toxicology /safety / impact particularly in relation to risks assessment and to contribute to promote safe, sustainable, and socially responsible nanotechnology. A key element is to define and implement an interface process between academia, industry, policy makers and society to facilitate open exchange (data, methods, knowledge) between the stakeholder groups on these issues. This can provide a trusted (independent) information resource which captures, interprets and disseminates the emerging evidence on nanoparticle risk issues. The NANOfutures Coordination Action provides a basis for how this can be achieved. Additional development could take many forms including publications, state-of-the-art reports, conferences, evidence appraisal workshops, and definition of actions. At the heart of this is likely to be a web-based resource linked to the NANOfutures website. A key aim (not currently foreseen under the NANOfutures Coordination Action) would therefore be a specification for that information resource, and a plan for its implementation. This should be and be seen to be independent of any of the stakeholder groups. WG Aims and Strategies

  11. Chair: Rob Aitken Co-Chair: Michael Riediker WG Structure

  12. The WG will create synergies among ongoing EU activities including the NanoSafetyCluster, the ERANET on safe implementation of innovative Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (SIINN) and the NanoImpactNet network. In the framework of the regulatory research, the WG will closely interact with the regulation and standardisation WGs and will establish contacts with the OECD Working party on Manufactured Nanomaterials (WPNM) and the Working Party on Nanotechnology (WPN). Foreseen Interactions with stakeholders,CSAs and other initiatives

  21. TARGET TIME Great Interest on fast growth of nanotechnologies

  22. From ETP sectorial Needs… • Most of the ETP identified needs are potentially important for many sectors. • Each ETP will be asked to rank the clustered list from the most to the least important need. • Such common elements will be highlighted by DAPP, leading to a clustered list of ETP needs. • Results in D2.2 …to WG consideration • WG should then take in account in their key nodes identification and analysis based on ETP needs from different sectors.

  24. ETPs have been clustered into the following groups: First level cluster ETP need clustering

  25. ETP need clustering ETPs have been clustered into the following groups: Second level cluster

  26. Proposal of WG database WG view on ETP needs

  27. Discussion on proposed actions/instruments to address ETP needs: a. Develop awareness among the ETPs and the participating organizations along the value chain for the importance of a safety strategy relevant to the commercial deployment of nanomaterials b. develop resources and capability through training and information transfer to ensure that there are people and facilities available to do the work c. Gather/disseminate existing information on safety and safety strategy for nanomaterials and share with ETPs and other organisations d. Carry out and disseminate research to ensure that the safety strategy framework is based on suitable scientific/technical knowledge to avoid perception based regulation which could impede innovation without further improvement of safety e. Develop a sector- and value-chain specific/ differentiated safety strategy framework (as opposed to overarching) f. Ensure global harmonization of testing and assessment procedures WG view on ETP needs
