Partner search under Horizon 2020 programme
The project “Designing new methods and tools for production of an alternative for nickel compounds”
aims at designing and developing new methods of production a new raw
material to replace nickel compounds deregulated due to health and
safety and environmental consequences of its use, thus reducing the
environmental, health and safety risks and increasing the performance
throughout the whole life cycle. Moreover, the project will develop risk
assessment and post-use monitoring tools. This project envisages
working with businesses in the chemical processing industry to research
and design production methods of materials to develop safer products.
Activities should start at TRL 4 and achieve TRL 6 at the end of the project.
Expected Impact:
· Safe by design approaches and tools at an early stage of the nanomaterial development process;
· Quality workplaces that ensure maximum technical and economic performance in line with acceptable risk levels;
· Control and mitigate exposure to acceptable risk level in case after release of nanomaterials from products;
· Develop
and validate low-cost techniques for delivering an integrated exposure
driven risk assessment and the associated design of the required
post-use monitoring.
Partners sought:
Industrial partners in the chemical processing industry, Academic
partners (in the field of chemistry, and chemical and process
engineering).
Deadline for proposal submission: the call will open on 16 October 2018 with deadline 22 January 2019 (two-stage proposal submission)
