Responsible development of nanosafety as the contribution to the European Green Deal

ended

"The European Green Deal sets a high ambition for a toxic-free environment leading to zero pollution. The Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability adopted in 2020 is the first delivery of the zero-pollution ambition. To promote the experience of European countries in the field of environmental protection and health care in the conditions of powerful development of nanotechnologies and the green transition, the project envisages the introduction of the new optional course ""Responsible development of nanosafety as the contribution to the European Green Deal"" for students of SSU of the specialities ""Environmental technology"", ""Ecology"", ""Medicine"", ""Biomedical Engineering"" following modern requirements for the formation of professional competences. This course is unique for higher education in Ukraine. The implementation of the new optional course will allow gaining knowledge about solving the problems of safety in the area of nanotechnologies in EU countries according to the basic principles of the Green Deal. The new course will provide students with knowledge for the formation of modern scientific views and applied skills in the field of nanotechnology and nanosafety in the context of European legislation. Activities under the project are expected to lead to the development, transfer or implementation of innovative European practices different target groups. The project provides additional activities, such as lectures by the European expert in nanosafety and the Green Deal, the workshop of the annual summer school in Bioengineering, organizing a multidisciplinary section at the student international conference “Biomedical Perspectives”(SSU), etc. The creation of a new project webpage will help to promote knowledge about strategic directions of nanosafety development in Europe and opportunities to implement European approaches in Ukraine."
