The 8th International Conference on Health and Safety Issues for a socially responsible approach to nanomaterials, known as nanoSAFE, took place in Grenoble, France from June 5th to 9th, 2023. This biennial conference has been a key platform for researchers and experts to share the latest findings on health and safety concerns related to nanomaterials. However, this year's event is special as it combines forces with the NanoSafety Cluster, opening up new opportunities for collaboration and knowledge exchange.   Among the notable participants at the conference were representatives from the NICKEFFECT project, including researchers from IRES (Institute of Research and Engineering of Surfaces) and CEA (Commissariat à l'énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives). The NICKEFFECT project focuses on Safe and Sustainable by Design material development, with a particular emphasis on metal nanocatalysts.   During the conference, K. Chatzipanagiotou of IRES presented the NICKEFFECT project, offering insights into the research methodology and the progress made...

On May 4th 2023, the NOUVEAU and NICKEFFECT projects, two initiatives that are leading examples of innovation and research in sustainable materials with a focus on industrial applications, hosted a joint webinar. The webinar was a unique opportunity for the attendees to gain insights into the two projects, their goals and the impact they aim to achieve with their collaboration. It counted with the participation of experts in the field, the project coordinators and also had a dedicated Q&A session.   Nerea Bilbao, Project Adviser for HADEA started by giving an overview of how the two projects were created under the umbrella of the Horizon Europe programme.     "With Horizon Europe, we step up and ambition for a sustainable future. The programme will maximise its impact by strengthening our scientific and technological bases, boosting our innovation capacity, driving the green and digital transitions and supporting and inclusive recovery." - Mariya Gabriel, Commissioner for Innovation, Research,...
