The FP7 EU project NanoValid is hosting its first summer school on "Synthesis, characterization and aquatic ecotoxicity testing of nanoparticles" from 16th - 17th June 2014 in the beautiful Estonian capital, Tallinn. The Summer school will focus on dispersion, characterisation and ecotoxicological testing of nanoparticles and will include both lectures and hands-on lab work provided by top experts from the NanoValid project and leading European scientific institutions
You will find further information on the summer school in the announcement flyer (PDF, 200 KB) and also on the project website www.nanovalid.eu.
Registration & Participation
Participation fees are €150 for NanoValid project partners and € 200 for external participants with catering included. You can register for the summer school via E-mail (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) until 30th April 2014.

In October we would like to present the special issue "Future Nanosafety" published in "Chemical Research in Toxicology".
In 17 articles operation procedures for future test methods, alternatives for animal testing, safe-by-design processes and detection methods of nanoparticles are presented.
