University Ca’Foscari Venezia | UNIVE

The University Ca' Foscari of Venice (UNIVE) has an internationally outstanding reputation of academic excellence in both research and teaching. Founded in 1868 as the first Italian high school devoted to commerce and economics, it has grown and developed new relevant subject areas and nowadays is composed of 8 Departments. The Department of Environmental Sciences, Informatics and Statistics supports research activities on integrated approaches and tools for the assessment and management of impacts and risks posed by environmental stressors on human health and ecosystems, as well as by emerging technologies like nanotechnologies. A main field of expertise consists in the development of frameworks and methodologies supporting decision making on different environmental problems (e.g. contaminated sites, nanotechnologies). UNIVE has been the coordinator of the recently completed large-scale FP7 project SUN with the task to develop a decision support system for the risk assessment and management of nanomaterials.

Nanosafety projects response to real-world needs 3. NSC-community-activity “Brainstorming of future collaboration for nanobiomaterials risk assessment”

BIORIMA FINAL MEETING

The BIORIMA Project held its final meeting from 17th – 18th January, a large, well-attended gathering of project members from all partner organisations, the External Advisory Board, and Marcello Cacace, the Project Officer from the EC.

News from the BIORIMA Project

A safe and sustainable society and environment are the two pillars on which our future stands, and both have to be continuously supported and protected by transparent, long-sighted and science-based regulation that is shared by all actors involved. BIORIMA is contributing to these ongoing new regulatory needs by developing novel methodologies that help us to obtain the knowledge and tools to manage possible risks associated with emerging new materials, such as nano-biomaterials (NBM), when used in medical applications.
