SSbD24 Conference
The EU Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability envisions the transition towards safer and more sustainable chemicals and materials. In 2022 the European Commission published an initial Safe-and-Sustainable-by-Design (SSbD) framework to support the development of new chemicals and materials and the re-design of existing ones. To enable this transition, safety and sustainability aspects need to be combined. This calls for multidisciplinary efforts from different stakeholders such as scientists, regulators and experts from industrial value chains.
The SSbD24 Conference on Monte Verità aims to bring together experts from various relevant fields and sectors who have started to work on specific methods, tools and criteria to enable the actual use of SSbD. Experts from industry and value chains using chemicals and materials will present their first-hand experience in applying the SSbD framework in case studies, and regulators will express their views on how to operationalize the concept and related policy needs.
A special session will be organized by and for Early Stage Researchers to help networking and get familiar with opportunities on SSbD related topics in- and outside academia. Further information will be provided during the registration.
NMBP-16 Projects Public Final Event
For the past four years, the EU-funded Horizon 2020 NMBP-16 projects – DIAGONAL, HARMLESS and SUNSHINE – have been addressing the call topic “Safe by design, from science to regulation: multi-component nanomaterials” and have been working closely together on the challenges related to safe and sustainable multicomponent nanomaterials.
As they are now coming to an end, they are organising their Public Final Event on 25 September 2024, from 14:30 to 16:00h CEST in Venice (Italy) at the Centro Culturale Don Orione Artigianelli (ONSITE ONLY).
This dynamic 90-minute session, held as satellite event of the NanoTox 2024 conference, will showcase the ambitious goals and key achievements of the three projects.
Attendees will get an overview of the objectives and core elements of each one of the projects, as well as their complementary perspectives. In addition, participants will gain insight into key features, main results, special focus topics, and case studies of each individual project will be presented and discussed.
Don’t miss this opportunity to dive into the in-depth discussions with a broad group of stakeholders on the future of safe and sustainable multicomponent nanomaterials!

Resilience-22 Projects' Clustering Meeting
Join the Resilience-22 Projects' Clustering Meeting in Venice, Italy on Monday 23 September
NanoTox 2024
The 11th International Conference on NanoToxicology - NanoTox 2024 - will take place in the historic centre of Venice at Centro Culturale Don Orione Artigianelli on 23-25 September 2024.
NanoTox is a forum aimed at personnel from research and academic institutions as well as from industry, governmental agencies, and other relevant organisations interested in:
(Eco)Toxicity of advanced (nano)materials
Hazard and exposure assessment, risk management and governance of advanced (nano)materials
Grouping and read-across
New approach methodologies (NAMs) for risk assessment
Sustainability assessment, Safe(r)-by-Design (SbD) and Safe-and-Sustainable-by-Design (SSbD) of advanced (nano)materials
Toxicity Pathways: nano cell circuits underlying Adverse Outcome Pathways (AOP) and Mode-of-Action (MoA)
Big data management and modelling solutions
The NanoTox 2024 Conference is jointly organised by the leading EU-funded H2020 Projects DIAGONAL, HARMLESS, and SUNSHINE, focusing on the challenges related to safe and sustainable multicomponent nanomaterials by developing novel tools for evaluating human and environmental hazards, strategies for nanomaterial characterisation, classification, grouping and read-across for risk analysis and sustainability assessment.
We plan to welcome up to 300 delegates to the conference, bringing together international experts from Europe, the United States and Asia.
We hope you can join us in amazing Venice!
SRIA Validation workshop (IAM4EU)
The SRIA Validation Workshop on Advanced Materials, organised by The Advanced Materials 2030 Initiative (AMI2030), will take place via Zoom on September 19th, 2024, from 9:00 - 13:00 (CEST).
The workshop focuses on the Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA) for Advanced Materials set by the IAM4EU partnership. During this event, participants will have the opportunity to engage in constructive discussions and collaborative document refinement, contributing to shaping the future of advanced materials research in Europe.
XXVIII EFMC International Symposium on Medicinal Chemistry
Join the International Symposium on Medicinal Chemistry in Rome, 1-5 September 2024. Representing 30 member societies and 9,000 members, the EFMC is a leader in medicinal chemistry and chemical biology.
AMI2030 The Advanced Materials for Industrial Leadership Session
The Advanced Materials for Industrial Leadership Session organised by EMIRI, EUMAT, SUSCHEM and MANUFUTURE will take place on 16 July per Zoom.
In this 2-hour online info session, IAM4EU stakeholders will gain an insight into the the current state of implementation of the strategy comprising 14 different actions under 5 main pillars. The event particularly highlights the key role of the IAM4EU partnership and the expected contributions from industry.
AMI2030 is an open and inclusive forum for stakeholders of the advanced materials ecosystems in Europe to collaborate, design and develop safe and sustainable advanced materials towards a circular economy, providing a systemic approach to promote leadership in research, fast-tracks innovations to market whilst ensuring sustainability and protection of human health and the environment.
Registration for the online webinar is open now!

MaterialsWeek 2024
On 17-21 June 2024, MaterialsWeek will be held at the Crown Plaza Hotel in Limassol, Cyprus. It aims to bring together numerous Research and Innovation (R&I) communities that are driving advances in materials innovation manifested across diverse value chains and industrial markets.
MaterialsWeek 2024 provides a cross-disciplinary meeting venue for communication and collaboration over and beyond traditional community boundaries. Topics covered are the (re-)discovery, identification, improvement, handling, processing, manufacturing, (re-)use and recycling of materials. Thus, it aims to combine insights, theories, and methods from different fields to address complex issues emphasising the fluidity of disciplinary boundaries and encouraging the free flow of ideas and methods between different fields.
The event includes conference sessions, workshops and courses where various topics will be covered.
We’re happy to announce that SUNRISE is among the sponsors of this year’s event. We hope to see you in Limassol!
