1 European Centre for Risk Management and Safe Innova8on in Nanomaterials & Nanotechnologies Your Company Logo European Centre for Risk Management and Safe Innova8on in Nanomaterials Nanotechnologies (EC4SafeNano) Principle, Defini8on & feasibility demonstra8on 1 st mee8ng of the Associated Partners, October 25, 2016 Emeric Fréjafon 1, Olivier Salvi 2, Benoit Hazebrouck 3, Maaike Le Feber 4, Helena Stockmann- Juvala 5 Jesus López de Ipiña Peña 6, Wolfgang Unger 7 and the EC4SafeNano team 1 INERIS, France 2 INERIS Développement, France 3 EU- VRi, Germany 4 TNO, The Netherlands 5 FIOH, Finland 6 Tecnalia, Spain, 7 BAM, Germany

2 Context and objec8ves Safe innova*on & sustainable produc*on with MNMs need that we: - Understand risks and benefits (diagnostic, assessment) - Identify and implement risk reduction strategies (manage) - Communicate on residual risks (acceptance) à Huge knowledge on characterization, hazards, diagnostic (science) Little effective use of it for operational risk management (expertise) Objec*ves of the centre: à à à Bridge the gap between research and application (public, private), Bridge the gap between knowledge on risks and risk management, Balance between Science and Appliance, in a sustainable way: - Efficient & Sustainable structure - Collective, harmonized, shared expertise - EU scale, internationally connected

3 Context: Recommenda8ons made by Closer to the marker roadmap (CTTM) Andreas Falk, Christa Schimpel, Andrea Haase, Benoît Hazebrouck, Carlos Fito López, Adriele Prina- Mello, Kai Savolainen, Adriënne Sips, Jesús M. Lopez de Ipiña, Iseult Lynch, Costas Chari*dis, Visser Germ: Closer to the market - Roadmap (CTTM), Aim: Market implementa8on of scien*fic knowledge: à Liberate the posi*ve economic impact promised by nanotechnologies à Enhance consumer and regulatory confidence Objec*ve: Solid opera8onal knowledge: scien*fic exper*se & datasets Way: - Dialogue between science, industry, public bodies, civil society - Inclusive European approach + strong global interac*on - Bundling ac*vi*es in the EU: Hub of best- prac*ce & na*onal networks Outcomes: - Easy- to- apply safety thresholds - Benchmarking of skills and jobs - Alterna*ve solu*ons with discussions. - Harmonized tools and methods: Educa*onal, risk- management, guides... Tested, made free for rou*ne implementa*on è Clear risk and safety framework

4 General Concept : gathering needs and knowledge A Core group of experts Member state representa*ves providing support both for private and public sectors Gathering exper*se: Knowledge from all actors Industries, organisa*ons Technological Centres Society, NGOs Policy makers Clustering: Technological plahorms, tools, exper*se dedicated to elements involved in RM Ø For a specific objec*ve: Risk management & Safe innova*on in MNMs

5 Main outcomes: Services (exper8se building & delivery) Gathering Available expertise / resources / facilities in each Member State and their respective organizations Protocols and Standard Operational Procedures under development, evaluate an d consolidate them Developing Good practice guide to assess and manage the risks along the value chain; Approved training programs; Tools to monitor new and emerging risks and to support longer term solutions to these emerging risks Providing Advice on the development, implementation and harmonization of regulations; Enhance access to expertise, capabilities and infrastructures for nanosafety and nanorisk assessment; Advice on the design and infrastructure for assays, in order to enhance the overall expertise; EU-wide education and training designed to address stakeholder needs; Feedback on research needs to enhance the expertise and industrial and regulatory capabilities Promoting The use of existing OECD, CEN or ISO protocols; The development of new training programs answering the needs of all stakeholders; Voluntary or regulatory certification schemes; The capabilities offered by the members of the Centre, supported by benchmarking exercises EU schemes to support open access to safety data, to store and share reliable data For: Member States (MS); EC and EC Agencies; Private sector: Industry, safety providers, training organizations,.. YOUR COMPANY NAME Civil society (NGOs, groups of citizens).

6 Main Actors Roles & involvment A network of A core team comprised of public (or publicoriented) organizations already providing support to all stakeholders) in the field of risk management. An enlarged community of Associated Partners through the creation of 5 Focus Networks around common interests and activities national platforms and international networks, to ensure sharing of information, best practices, tools, from the global to local scale. Some of the national platforms are expected to become national hubs that could mirror the European hub at national level. An organization capable of managing access to data and knowledge through a collaborative model for the operation of the Centre. The key points will be to define a legal entity, establish governance and operating procedures. A demanddriven Centre providing the best resources and capabilities available to address the needs of stakeholders A Sustainable Open Alliance (Centre) of organizations, able to gather, structure, harmonize and enhance the overall expertise in risk assessment, risk management, envrionmental assessment and safe innovation

10 Final remarks The principle, the defini*on & the feasibility demonstra*on of an European Centre for Risk Management and Safe Innova*on in Nanomaterials & Nanotechnologies (EC4SafeNano) will start thanks to: The commitment of recognized organiza*ons The involvement and support of stakeholders and the European Commission All together ü To bejer iden*fy the needs and the Sci. & Tech knowledge ü to build an efficient & reliable exper*se on nanosafety to achieve the smarter decisions for risk assessment, risk management and safe innova*on ü To build sustainable principles for a Centre going beyond this funding EU opportunity and opera*ng for years

11 Final remarks Contact: The research leading to these results has received funding from the European Union s Horizon 2020 Research and Innova*on Programme, under the Grant Agreement No The views and opinions in this document are solely those of the authors and contributors, not those of the European Commission.
