Opportunities and Risks of Nanomaterials
Contract period
:
- 2016
Total budget
: 12000000 Euro
The National Research Programme 'Opportunities and Risks of Nanomaterials' (NRP 64) hopes to be able to bridge the gaps in our current knowledge on nanomaterials. Opportunities and risks for human health and the environment in relation to the manufacture, use and disposal of synthetic nanomaterials need to be better understood.
