Two years since its launch, the EUON has carried out a mid-term review to evaluate how it has met its objective of giving reliable information on the markets and safety aspects of nanomaterials in the EU. The findings show that the EUON is adding value to the EU debate on nanomaterials but more frequent and up-to-date information could strengthen it further.

The European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) has opened a call to access the JRC Nanobiotechnology Laboratory for external researchers from the public and private sectors. The call is open until 7 June 2019.

The NanoSafety Cluster coordinates the funding of research projects at the European level that address the safety aspects of nanomaterials. Read an interview about the benefits and risks of new innovations with Eva Valsami-Jones, the lead coordinator of the cluster.

The Joint Research Centre (JRC) published a report clarifying key concepts and terms used in the European Commission's nanomaterial definition. The report gives recommendations for a harmonised implementation of the definition.

A new study performed by scientists at the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre demonstrates the applicability of the European Chemicals Agency’s recommendations for the grouping and read-across of nanomaterials.
