Partners in the ENPRA project

The 3 ½ year project is led by Dr Lang Tran of the IOM. To implement the ENPRA plan, we have assembled a consortium of 21 partners (15 European and 6 American) with an excellent academic record measured in hundreds of publications on Nanotoxicology (and three relevant articles in Nature and Nature Nanotechnology). Our partners also include prominent members of government bodies, participating in the regulatory process, on both sides of the Atlantic (e.g. JRC and US EPA, NIOSH). Most importantly, different groups within the ENPRA consortium have experience of working together in FP projects as well as other national projects and will be able to share their extensive experience on working with ENP in achieving the objectives laid out in ENPRA.

The full list of partners is given below. This will be augmented with partner's logos and links when these are available.

Project activity

ENPRA's second Expert Panel Meeting took place in Ispra, on the 13th April 2010. The meeting provided a forum for invited experts from around the world to discuss key publications and findings from the first half of 2010, and to form opinions on their value to future nanotechnology EHS research.

The proceedings of this meeting have been summarised in the second 'European Observtory on Nano Safety' (EONS) report, and are now available exclusively to ENPRA members in the member area of the website. Visit the 'Final Project Deliverables' section for access.
