1st Edition BIORIMA Training School

The first edition of a series of Training Schools took place in the historic centre of Venice, Italy on 16 – 20 April 2018 hosted by Ca'Foscari University of Venice and GreenDecision. The school aimed to transfer the State-of-the-Art knowledge on a variety of topics from key experts to the new generation of nano-environmental, health and safety, and biomedicine professionals. The lectures were held in Aula Mario Baratto at the Ca' Foscari Palace and Sala Giovanni Morelli at the Palazzo Malcanton Marcorà.

School topics

Advanced Nano-Biomaterials

Fate & Exposure Scenarios

Hazard to Human Health & Environment

Risk Assessment & Risk Management

Each training school day was split into several training sessions that covered different topics. Each training session took 90 minutes. In total, 16 sessions were held during the five days.

In total, a number of 26 speakers gave lectures at the 1st BIORIMA Training School a number of 58 people attended the 1st BIORIMA Training School.

Target audience

The 1st BIORIMA Training School was especially designed for personnel from research and academic institutions as well as from industry, governmental agencies and hospital departments. The school was aimed at senior researchers, young scientists, PhD students and in fact anyone interested in safe nanotechnology, risk assessment and nano-medicine.

Benefits from attending the school

Attending the school offered participants to:

learn the latest trends in safe biomedicine gaining an in-depth understanding of the above-mentioned key topics,

engage in a dialogue with peers and key experts,

benefit from a variety of additional networking opportunities such as boat trip in the  Venetian Lagoon and a social dinner in the historical center of amazing Venice.

BIORIMA’s Final Public Event – Results, Reflections and Aspirations

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.
