Task Force Meeting for establishment of an EC Risk Governance of Nanotechnologies

Aula Magna Silvio Trentin, Ca' Dolfin, Dorsoduro 3825/E, Venezia

The EC wishes the nanosafety community to develop from focusing primarily on the issues around nanomaterials risk assessment to focus on the entire risk governance aspect for nanomaterials and nano-enabled products.

Nanotechnologies innovation can only succeed if all true and perceived risks are convincingly managed. The new technology must deliver higher benefits and, at the same time, lower risks than the technologies it replaces. The nanotechnologies research community must be ready today to respond to societal expectations of tomorrow regarding management of those risks.

Therefore, the EC has asked the nanosafety cluster to establish a document to define how we can operationalize nano-risk governance including the different topics and requirements and methods to establish and support an EC nano-risk governance body.

The EC action called “The EC Risk Governance Action” was launched on November 9, 2016 at the Nanosafety Cluster meeting in Grenoble in connection with the NANOSAFE 2016 conference and is coordinated by Keld Alstrup Jensen at the National Research Centre for the Working Environment (NRCWE), Denmark.

The deadline for the draft nanorisk governance document is December 20, 2017.
