The achievement of safe nanoproducts requires an understanding of the properties, biological interactions, fate, risks and environmental impacts of manufactured nanomaterials (MN).
The 1st Sustainable Nanotechnology School aims to impart training on the state-of-the-art knowledge in these areas. The course is structured to balance breadth and depth in these diverse topics, and journal club aims to build an integrative understanding of them. The school is organized in the frame of the major EU FP7 projects SUN , MARINA and GUIDEnano and is strongly supported by the US Sustainable Nanotechnology Organization.
The school will highlight the best practices and approaches for physicochemical characterization, applications, (eco)toxicity testing, exposure, risk,and lifecycle assessment of nanotechnologies and will provide guidelines on how to provide education in these areas. It will provide an interactive learning environment and direct access to key experts from Europe and the United States.

The 1st Sustainable Nanotechnology School is especially designed for personnel from research and academic institutions as well as from industry, governmental agencies and hospital departments. The School is aimed at senior researchers, young scientists, PhD students and in fact anyone dealing with nanosciences, nanotechnologies, risk assessment and educational aspects of nanotechnology.

  • I suggest including in the school program a topic: a creation of a Risk Knowledge Base of nanomaterials and nanotechnology. Under the Knowledge Base, we mean an information tool, containing all relationships between all variables of nano object, allowing to calculate a value of one variable through others as well as solving both direct and inverse problems, predicting characteristics of nano object which have not been investigated yet as well as predicting a technology parameters that provide the required characteristics of nano object. We can create this information tool by means of Data Mining.
