MACRAMÉ Webinars on Harmonisation, Standardisation & Validation of Test- and Characterisation Methods

The MACRAMÉ to inform and train practitioners of advanced materials’ (AdMas’) safety and sustainability on and in topics pertaining to the harmonisation, standardisation and validation of characterisation- and test-methods of AdMAs.

Please follow this links below to find out more about each one of the webinars offered. 

Webinar I:
Standardisation and Validation made simple
Understanding the role of metrology and standardisation to answer the regulatory requirements for advanced materials and nanomedicines

Date & Time: 09. April 2024, 14:00 – 16:00 CEST

Metrology, method validation, standardisation … 

These concepts may sound complicated, but they are essential in analytical sciences. They strongly support the development of innovative products such as advanced materials or nanomedicine.

This webinar aims to help increase the impact of the protocols you are developing beyond the academic community and to get you updated on the new standards and reference materials on the horizon. … more …

Webinar II:
AOPs: A tool to include NAMs into regulatory testing?

Date & Time: 11. April 2024, 14:00 – 16:00 CEST

Regulatory safety testing of chemicals and materials is still mainly focused on animal testing. A huge number of New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) to replace or reduce animal testing have been scientifically developed within the last years. Their regulatory use, however, is still limited. A possible way to include NAMs into regulatory testing may be found in Adverse Outcome Pathways (AOPs). We will present what AOPs are, how they can be developed and established at OECD. The AOP for pulmonary fibrosis and the AOP on acute lung toxicity will serve as examples for the development of nanomaterial-relevant AOPs. We will discuss the implementation of AOPs into regulatory testing and hurdles. … more …

Webinar III:
Overcoming issues in regulatory testing of advanced materials

Date & Time: 04. March 2025, 14:00 – 16:00 CET

Advanced materials bring new challenges for regulatory risk assessment. The special properties of advanced materials may affect the applicability and predictivity of standard test methods for human health and environmental risk assessment. As a result, test methods may need to be adapted or newly developed.

The webinar will inform you about different standardisation organisations (e.g. ISO, CEN, OECD) and the process towards an accepted standard. This includes the important steps of method validation and regulatory acceptance. An overview of the state-of-the-art of human health and environmental in vitro testing of the advanced materials will be given. Challenges and ways to overcome these will be discussed. Topics include stable dispersions, characterisation of materials in test media, alternative testing approaches and dosimetry.

Join us for an interactive webinar with participants from academia, industry and regulation. … more …
