1st Joint Symposium on Nanotechnology

The integration of nanomaterials along the entire value chain creates new challenges and requires new approaches in terms of design, testability, reliability, and safety. At a two-day symposium, the status quo in application, research, and regulation will be presented. Besides the characterisation, the toxicology of nanomaterials will be in the focus. Furthermore, the societal acceptance of nanotechnology shall be discussed. This first joint symposium on nanotechnology on 5 and 6 March 2015 is organised by the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) together with the Fraunhofer "Food Chain Management Alliance" and the Fraunhofer "Nanotechnology Alliance". Here, you may find the programme of the event which will take place at the BfR lecture hall in Berlin.
