Factsheet on the HARMLESS DSS for SSbD of AdMa
The EU H2020 project HARMLESS (grant agreement number 953183) develops a novel, multifaceted Safe Innovation Approach to complex multi-component nanomaterials and High Aspect Ratio Nanoparticles (MCNM & HARNs) by integrating a toolbox of New Approach Methodologies (NAMs), which can test key properties according to latest scientific insights into MCNM & HARNs.
To support the practical implementation of the Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD) approach in industrial innovation involving advanced materials (AdMa), the HARMLESS project has developed a Decision Support System (DSS) tailored for MCNMs and HARNs.
This factsheet gives an overview of the HARMLESS SSbD-DSS, with background information, explaining the online tools within the DSS, highlighting for whom it has been developed and which are the main benefits of using it for the decision making at different innovation stages in industrial processes.
In HARMLESS, the work on the DSS has been coordinated by the partner TNO. The factsheet has been created by HARMLESS C&D manager, BNN.
