| Description: |
Moving nanotechnology to market also involves addressing challenges regarding
information and communication management. This year’s 5thNanoRegulation
Conference will bring together executive representatives from industry companies
and associations, authorities, NGOs and politics to discuss how to add transparency
to the black box of nanotechnologies. The attending speakers represent all relevant
stakeholders and participants will get the opportunity to contribute to concrete
solutions during expert moderated workshop sessions.
Goals of the Conference:
- Establishing a common understanding by analysing the current practice of
Nano-information transfer.
- Comparing different tools and approaches along the value chain.
- Discussing the different points of view of politicians, NGO, consumer advocates
and industry (Producer, Processor, Retailer, Recycler)
- Outlining how existing procedures and instruments for information transfer
need to be revised and adapted.
- Developing guidelines and requirements for efficient and useful Nano-information
in the future.
Questions that will be addressed:
- Which information on manufactured nanomaterials is required at each stage
of the product value chain, including recycling and disposal?
- Which instruments for information transfer already exist, what is their
purpose and how well do they prove themselves regarding manufactured nanomaterials?
- What does "No Data, No Market" mean in the real world for manufacturers,
retailers and consumers?
- How can existing tools and procedures be adapted to meet the specific requirements
of nano-safety information transfer? (Case studies)
- Who is responsible if it comes to implementing specific measures?
- What conclusions, recommendations and core issues can be derived from the
results of the case studies?
Who should attend:
The NanoRegulation conference is addressed to executive representatives from
international regulatory bodies, industry and insurance companies, scientists,
NGO, associations, politicians, the media and the interested public
