In the first part “MACRAMÉ Data Shepherding – an Approach to the centralised Management of Research Information & Knowledge”, the principle data management concept of MACRAMÉ were outlined, including an elaboration of MACRAMÉ’s implementation of the FAIR principles for internal data sharing, and two new data management tools (i.e. (a) Read more
The 1st MACRAMÉ online workshop on ‘Harmonisation & Standardisation of Test Methods for Nanomaterials and Advanced Materials’, jointly organised with the iCARE and nanoPASS Projects, as well as the MaltaInitiative took place on the 22. – 23. November 2023 (online). The workshop welcomed over 150 registrants, evenly distributed amongst academia, Read more
As part of their joint efforts within the NanoHarmony project, the MACRAMÉ Partners BAuA (German Federal Institute for occupational Safety and Health ), RIVM (DutchNational Institute for Public Health and the Environment), BASF (BASF SE), LIST (Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology), and AIST (AcumenIST), and INIA (National Institute for Agriculture Read more
MACRAMÉ colleagues from EMPA have compiled a comparative analysis of different AI tools for environmental topics covering different types of materials. Artificial intelligence gained a surge in popularity through the release of conversational artificial intelligence tools, which enable individuals to use the technology without any prior knowledge or expertise in computational science.
While everyone agrees on its incredible properties and the possibilities it brings to industry in particular, more and more studies are also aiming to assess graphene’s toxicity on human health. The various studies carried out on the subject all agree that the type of graphene, its quality, the degree of concentration and the level of exposure have different impacts. However, they show that Read more
‘[…] a highly topical issue in the science community: that of research data management and FAIR data.’ [Peer-Reviewer 1] A new paper on data management laments that the processes underlying the best practices of research data management were ‘overly focussed on the needs of specific research projects or aligned to Read more
As a part of its open science philosophy, MACRAMÉ is implementing high quality knowledge and data management using state-of-the-art data sharing concepts, approaches and tools and constantly improving research output/data documentation towards full implementation of the FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable and re-usable) and FAIR for Research Software (FAIR4RS) principles. This Read more
MACRAMÉ Partners have contributed to the identification of 11 different needs for action to address 22 information requirement needs across different EU regulatory areas concerning the market access of products containing nanomaterials. Experts from RIVM (Dutch National Institute for Public Health and the Environment) and AcumenIST SRL have co-authored a Read more
MACRAMÉ colleagues from AcumenIST and University of Birmingham have contributed to a publication that provides insights into the technical and organisational challenges to the practical implementation of the SSbD, and future financial directions in supporting and maintaining the digital products currently under development within the H2020 projects.
