Enable the identification of key descriptors that can be used to reveal correlations associated with health & environmental impacts and meaningful basis for grouping, read-across and QSARs purposes
Increased confidence in nanosafety studies and findings through sound physico-chemical characterisation methods and standard operating procedures
Reduced costs related to the physico-chemical characterisation of nanomaterials in relevant environments
On top of safety related objectives, proposals should seek synergies with applications of the methods in other areas such as quality control, product traceability, labelling and counterfeiting
