Presentations from US-EU nanoEHS workshop now available online
|
(Nanowerk News) On March 10-11, 2011 The US and EU jointly held a workshop to
|
engage in an active discussion about environmental, health, and safety questions for nano-enabled products
encourage joint programs of work that would leverage resources
establish communities of practice, including identificaiton of key points of contact /interest groups/themes between key US and EU researchers & key US and EU funding sources.
