ICEENN 2017
Wednesday, September 6, 2017
Birmingham, UK
The primary goal for this session is to identify new driving forces with respect to nanomaterial categorisation efforts. How has recent research about nanomaterials changed our thinking about the need for and approach to categorisation? Why have the changes happened? Is it now easier or harder to make progress on achieving a consensus on categorisation? Why?
The workshop will take place as part of the 12th International Conference on the Environmental Effects of Nanoparticles and Nanomaterials (ICEENN 2017).
Ideas and thoughts generated at this workshop will be used to help plan the larger FutureNanoNeeds Conference on Categorisation of Next Generation Nanomaterials being held in Brussels, Belgium on November 30th – December 1st, 2017.
