Background and Objectives

The JEUPISTE project, (Japan-Europe Partnership in Innovation, Science and Technology, http://www.jeupiste.eu) is a 3-year EU funded project under the 7th Framework for Research, Technological Development and Demonstration of the European Commission.
Its aim is to advance the Europe-Japan cooperation in Science, Technology and Innovation. Academic workshops are one the activities of the JEUPISTE project and are dedicated to networking/twinning within research communities.

Nanomaterials: A strategic priority

Research and innovation in advanced materials is set as a priority by the 3rd Joint Committee on Scientific and Technological Cooperation between the EU and Japan as of May 2015.

Nanomaterials and bionanoscience are challenging areas where Europe and Japan can work together and develop common solutions, in particular in relation to characterisation, hazard assessment and medical applications.

The workshop

This workshop aims to enable networking and creation of partnerships for projects under Horizon 2020 and related bi-multi lateral programmes that can facilitate EU-Japan cooperation. This event will highlight the current state of research in Europe and Japan on nanomaterials and bionanoscience and features on-going research in this field with potential significance for Europe-Japan cooperation.

The benefit of cooperation between Europe and Japan on this area is directly related to cooperation in the field nanotechnologies for high-added value products, process industries, modelling, healthcare and energy applications. Especially cooperation under Horizon 2020, activities will focus on process technologies and management of resources based on high performance nanotechnologies and advanced materials science with the aim of making processes "smarter", "cleaner" and "intelligent", contributing to the Circular Economy.

This workshop is organised as parallel event of NANOTEXNOLOGY 2016.

NANOTEXNOLOGY16 PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Nanosafety Stakeholder Event

In the framework of NN15 the NanoPUZZLES FP7 EU (www.nanopuzzles.eu) project consortium, together with the consortia of five other FP7 EU modelling projects (MODERN, PRE-NANO-TOX, MOD-ENP-TOX, MEMBRANENANOPART and eNanoMapper) cordially invite you to the Nanosafety Stakeholder Event during Nanotexnology 2015.

The aim of this event is to bring together various interested parties, including representatives from academia, industry, health and environmental authorities to enhance networking in the nanosafety field and exchange views on the use of computational approaches for addressing nanosafety concerns.

Specifically, the Nanosafety Stakeholder Event will solicit the perspectives of external stakeholders regarding the computational approaches developed within all participating FP7 EU projects and discuss the benefits they might offer to the stakeholders. The outcomes from this feedback and these discussions will be taken into consideration by the FP7 consortia when deciding on the final shape and form of developed tools and services.

The event will take place on July 10th, from 9.00 am till 1.30 pm. All interested entities, who would like to take part in the event or to contribute to facilitating the event are welcome to contact Mrs. Katarzyna Dembowska – the NanoPUZZLES Project Manager via e-mail: This email address is being protected from spambots.
