The latest nanos news on our social networks

Newsflash
information

New articles are in preparation. Until they are published, you can check out our social networks @VeilleNanos, where we compile nanos news spotted as part of our watch:

If you’d prefer a more synthetic look back at the first half of 2024, we invite you to consult our @VeilleNanos summer newsletter.

You can also find out about the events in which we are taking part in AVICENN agenda and, more generally, about other nano-related events in veillenanos.fr agenda.

When we’re not on this site or at conferences, we sometimes prepare articles with other media, which you can find on ‘AVICENN’s work in the spotlight’ page.

And in any case, if you have any questions, information or analyses to share, please write to us at contact@veillenanos.fr.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon,

AVICENN

  • Workshop on risk assessment of nanomaterials and materials containing small/nanoparticles in the food and feed chain
  • Organizer: EFSA
  • This workshop will present the proposed strategy for updating the EFSA Nano Guidance documents, aiming to merge them into a single guidance on risk assessment for nanomaterials and small/nanoparticles in the food and feed chain.
    The event will provide an open platform for discussing key issues, approaches to addressing them, and ensuring the guidance reflects the latest scientific knowledge. Stakeholders will be encouraged to share experiences and engage with regulators, helping shape the updated guidance.
