Lausanne 16 th Feb 2011 First WG Meeting WG Mission, Vision and Activities Chair: Rob Aitken Co-Chair: Michael Riediker

This WG aims to improve knowledge concerning the risks / exposure/ toxicology /safety / impact particularly in relation to risks assessment and to contribute to promote safe, sustainable, and socially responsible nanotechnology. A key element is to define and implement an interface process between academia, industry, policy makers and society to facilitate open exchange (data, methods, knowledge) between the stakeholder groups on these issues. This can provide a trusted (independent) information resource which captures, interprets and disseminates the emerging evidence on nanoparticle risk issues. The NANOfutures Coordination Action provides a basis for how this can be achieved. Additional development could take many forms including publications, state-of-the-art reports, conferences, evidence appraisal workshops, and definition of actions. At the heart of this is likely to be a web-based resource linked to the NANOfutures website. A key aim (not currently foreseen under the NANOfutures Coordination Action) would therefore be a specification for that information resource, and a plan for its implementation. This should be and be seen to be independent of any of the stakeholder groups. WG Aims and Strategies

WG Structure Chair: Rob Aitken Co-Chair: Michael Riediker

Foreseen Interactions with stakeholders, CSAs and other initiatives  The WG will create synergies among ongoing EU activities including the NanoSafetyCluster, the ERANET on safe implementation of innovative Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (SIINN) and the NanoImpactNet network. In the framework of the regulatory research, the WG will closely interact with the regulation and standardisation WGs and will establish contacts with the OECD Working party on Manufactured Nanomaterials (WPNM) and the Working Party on Nanotechnology (WPN).

WG Contributions to NANOfutures Activities  Detailed description of the WG Knowledge area of interest, application fields, expected benefits and impact, risks involved, main international actors etc (Contribution to D1.1) DONE  Analysis of recent and ongoing EU projects on safety. Identification of common R&D priorities and synergies (contribution to D1.3 and D1.5), in close interaction with the SAFETY cluster  Contribution towards the identification of nanotechnology key nodes (D2.2): Identification of key areas on needed actions in the field of safety research  Contribution to the identification of nanotechnology key nodes – FOCUS of TODAY  Contribution to the Integrated Industrial and Research Roadmap and related implementation plan with a focus on safety research through revision and development of documents discussions etc (D2.3-D2.4)  Revision of the NANOfutures educational material related to safety research. (Contribution to D3.6)

Proposal of WG database WG view on ETP needs

Discussion on proposed actions/instruments to address ETP needs: a. Develop awareness among the ETPs and the participating organizations along the value chain for the importance of a safety strategy relevant to the commercial deployment of nanomaterials b. develop resources and capability through training and information transfer to ensure that there are people and facilities available to do the work c. Gather/disseminate existing information on safety and safety strategy for nanomaterials and share with ETPs and other organisations d. Carry out and disseminate research to ensure that the safety strategy framework is based on suitable scientific/technical knowledge to avoid perception based regulation which could impede innovation without further improvement of safety e. Develop a sector- and value-chain specific/ differentiated safety strategy framework (as opposed to overarching) f. Ensure global harmonization of testing and assessment procedures WG view on ETP needs
