SAFER NANOMATERIALS Accelerating nanotech innovations through a safer-by-design approach 2 - 10 May 2019 European Scientific Institute, Archamps, France (Greater Geneva) www.safernanodesign.eu
The problem... Philippe Sabatier, UNIVERSITÉ GRENOBLE-ALPES, Engineered nanomaterials are today School coordinator found in more than 1800 commercially available products . What do we know With their unique properties and about the risks associated potential to significantly reduce with extensive use of dependence on extractable raw nanoscale particles and materials, nanomaterials can devices? potentially bring enormous benefits The short answer is “Not enough!” both to industry and society as a Ever-increasing time lag between the emergence of nano-products whole . and the generation and analysis of environmental health and safety data by regulatory agencies. Nanotechnology is a multi-billion $ Standard animal testing methods (as for pharmaceuticals) are enterprise worldwide that may exceed inadequate the impact of the first industrial Too many substances to test revolution and is projected to become Serious practical and ethical constraints: cost, time, animal welfare issues a $1 trillion market within a few years. Long-term exposure is perhaps the most important risk
The solution... Alejandra Fernandez Alvarez, YOU ! MSC, UNIVERSIDAD POLITÈCNICA … the upcoming generation of highly trained material scientists, DE MADRID life scientists, entrepreneurs, industrialists and regulators accustomed to working in a pluridisciplinary and international environment implement a “safer-by-design” approach to nanomaterial life-cycle assessment SaferNanoDesign 2018 rooted in an ever-evolving digital environment was an intensive experience where I learned both SaferNanoDesign offers a unique and theoretically and practically from transformational opportunity to broaden great professionals. skills-sets in a range of fields including advanced research strategies, innovation & sustainable An awesome international business planning, ethics and regulatory affairs. atmosphere and an incredible team of people!
The team... Aristedes Senra David Munos Fabienne Bornard (UPM, Madrid) (Université Grenoble-Alpes) Rojas A group of expert speakers (INP, Grenoble) Laurent Charlet and tutors drawn from a rich Ana Elena Pradas de Real (Université Grenoble-Alpes) (INIA, Madrid) international ecosystem Egon of academia, research and Benjamin Gilbert Ilise Feitshans Willighagen (LBNL, Berkeley) (ESI) industry (BIGCAT, Maastricht ) Mark Olivier Loget Hoover Hristo Shuji (Capeval Pharma) (NIOSH) Aladjov Tsuruoka (OECD) Nikolai Kochev (Shinsu Celina Vaquero Moralejo (Plovdiv University) University) (Tecnalia)
The Safer Nanomaterials summer school is an accelerated- The programme... learning programme proposed by EIT Raw Materials partner institutions and the European Scientific Institute. Industrial and entrepreneurial Multidisciplinary case studies group-work on innovation projects Core presentations on nanodesign, Project pitches to a life cycle panel of experts from industry, academia, start-ups and Workshop, lab and business incubators. computer practicals You will come out the other end armed with a comprehensive toolkit for implementing safer nanomaterials innovation.
Your profile Curiosity You are a Master or PhD student in medical or life science, never killed the cat biotechology, engineering, materials, data science, business, (ask Schrödinger !) human and social science. The success of the school depends on the quality of the participants. Over and above your specialist skills, you will bring the following qualities : Success = preparation OPEN AND CRITICAL THINKING + opportunity. A closed mind is the antithesis of innovation CAPACITY FOR CALCULATED RISK seizing new opportunities is inseparable from taking risks FOCUS ON COMMUNITY The team is individual ideas become breakthrough innovations thanks more important than the idea. to a great team
