NanoValid

The EU FP7 NanoValid project (263147) was launched on 1st November 2011 followed by a kick off meeting, held in conjunction with the EU FP7 MARINA project, at the Universita Cattolica del Sacre Cuore in Rome 16th-18th November 2011. The project will run for four years with the aim of developing a set of reference methods and materials for hazard identification, risk assessment, and life cycle analysis of engineered nanomaterials.
