MACRAMÉ Experts used the opportunity to provide feedback in the commenting phase of the revision of the Safe and Sustainable by Design Chemicals and Materials Framework.
The MACRAMÉ Project team has published an Innovation Report about its Project’s R&I approach. In the paper entitled ‘MACRAMÉ – Advanced characterisation methodologies to assess and predict the health and environmental risks of advanced materials‘, the authors describe the planned information-flow between the different R&I activities conducted in the Project (see Read more
The MACRAMÉ Project was invited to give evidence to the 5th Stakeholder Workshop on ‘Safe & Sustainable by Design’, hosted by the European Commission on the 5. and 6. December 2024 in Brussels. Based on the feedback that the MACRAMÉ Project had provided during the second testing period, the Project Read more
MACRAMÉ Partner EMPA published a paper with the title ‘Bridging the gap: Innovative human-based in vitro approaches for nanomaterials hazard assessment and their role in safe and sustainable by design, risk assessment, and life cycle assessment’. The application of nanomaterials in industry and consumer products is growing exponentially, which has pressed the development and use of predictive human in vitro models in pre-clinical analysis to closely extrapolate potential toxic effects in vivo.
MACRAMÉ Coordinator, Dr Steffi Friedrichs, presented the project’s interim results at the NanoTox 2024 conference, held 23. to 25. September in Venice (Italy). In a presentation entitled ‘Interim Results of the MACRAMÉ R&I Approach – Ensuring regulatory Alignment in the Research & Innovation of five market-relevant Advanced Materials’, Dr Friedrichs Read more
RIVM works towards a healthy population in a sustainable, safe and healthy living environment. To that end, we are a trusted advisor to the government, professionals and private citizens. Within the MACRAMÉ project, RIVM contributes to benchmarking and demonstration of cell-line-based in vitro assays for initial screening of inhalable materials. Read more
In its Report on Stakeholder Involvement & Knowledge Transfer in the first 18 Months, the MACRAMÉ Project provides an overview of the stakeholder engagement and knowledge transfer on harmonisation and standardisation (H&S) activities for advanced materials undertaken in the first 18 months. The Project organised and conducted a number of Read more
During the week of the 16. to 20. June 2025, the sister projects MACRAMÉ, iCARE and nanoPASS will hold a Joint Summit on new Methods for safe & sustainable Advanced Materials back-to-back with the meeting of the OECD Working Party on Manufactured Nanomaterials (OECD WPMN). The experts invited to attend Read more
