HARMLESS develops a novel, multifaceted Safe Innovation Approach to MCNM & HARNs
Public and private researchers spent great efforts on nanosafety research in the past decade. This helped to establish nanotechnology on key markets and it inspired nano-specific regulatory approaches. Still, current product designs and regulations may be outpaced by the development of next generation complex nanomaterials.
