At our meeting last November we discussed a variety of issues facing Industry and it was noted that priorities for industry are:
1. Risk assessment and protocols for industry
2. Environmental, health, life cycle analysis and safety issues
Taking this into account we have arranged for:
Renzo Tomellini from the European Commission (DG Research) to attend to discuss FP7
Thomas Epprecht from Swiss Re to discuss requirements for risk assessment/management from an insurance perspective, including some respective policy aspects
Prof Josè Kenny from the University of Perugia to discuss Life Cycle Analysis with particular attention to its application to polymers, composites and nanocomposites including case studies related to different industrial sectors.
Paul Borm from Magna Medics to discuss Tox testing strategies for nanoparticles for life science applications
Paul Arnoldus from the European Commission’s REACH team will provide and update
