SAFENANO, Europe’s Center of Excellence on Nanotechnology Hazard and Risk, has announced the re-launch of its website. The new website offers a wealth of up-to-date information of value to industry, researchers, policy makers, and the wider public in addressing nanotechnology safety issues. According to Rob Aitken, director of SAFENANO, “Five years on from the original launch of the SAFENANO website, the landscape in relation to nanotechnology risk issues has changed beyond all recognition. An enormous body of work is underway addressing, hazard, exposure and risk through research programmes, government and regulatory activities, industrial projects and standardization. The need for clear informed assessment of the issues and their consequences is greater than ever. Provision of this has been core to our mission since SAFENANO’s inception. With the benefits it brings to the nanotechnology community, we are delighted to launch the new SAFENANO website to address this need.”
