Project description
Testing and evaluating nanomaterial safety data
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is a member country organisation that plays a central role in enabling countries to reach agreements on technical instruments and offers practical tools that are used by industries and governments to generate chemical safety data that can be accepted globally. One question that has arisen in recent years concerns the best way to test and evaluate manufactured nanomaterial. The EU-funded NANOMET project aims to standardise test methods to characterise the properties that are specific to nanomaterials. It will also investigate the adaptations needed to existing testing and assessment methodologies.
Objective
The aim of the project is to facilitate the harmonisation of testing methodologies at OECD for the generation of nanomaterial safety data and their evaluation across OECD countries. This project will greatly contribute to building consensus around the most relevant and robust test methods to characterize the properties that are specific to nanomaterials and the adaptations needed to existing testing and assessment methodologies. OECD plays a central role in enabling countries reaching agreements on technical instruments and practical tools that are then used globally by industries and governments.
OECD is a member country organization, where working priorities are decided by members and funded by both core budget (half) and voluntary contributions (half). Thus the H2020 CSA type of submission represents an important opportunity for OECD Secretariat to raise funding to accomplish the agreed programme of work.

Topic(s)
Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
