Nanotechnology has emerged over the past decade as a key field involving the design, characterization, production, and application of materials, structures, devices, and systems at the nanometer scale. Due to their large specific surface area and significant surface chemistry, nanomaterials offer enhanced material properties and product functionalities.
However, alongside these advancements comes the potential risk to humans and the environment. The development of nanomaterials has provided new opportunities to understand matter at the nanoscale, accelerating the creation of innovative advanced materials and devices. The expertise gained in the standardization and regulation of nanomaterials, particularly in characterizing nanoparticulate matter, should be applied to other innovative advanced materials, such as (nano)composites, 2D structures, additive manufactured materials, gels, and foams. Initial guidance for the safe-and-sustainable-by-design (SSbD) development of advanced materials during the early innovation phase has been introduced by various groups and projects. Additionally, digital material passports (DMP) and digital product passports (DPP) need to be defined and implemented uniformly across Europe.
In 2024, the Innovative Advanced Materials Initiative (IAM-I) was launched by European stakeholders to contribute to a "Research and Innovation ecosystem that will significantly accelerate the time-to-market of sustainable innovative advanced materials (IAMs) and associated technologies designed for a digital circular economy." Knowledge transfer is a crucial pillar of this ecosystem, and a future IAM-I Academy could be a valuable tool. Initially, it is essential to define "education & training needs to boost Europe’s competitiveness and sovereignty within the area of IAM."
The first part of this webinar will highlight these points through individual contributions, aiming to identify the possibilities and knowledge gained from nanotechnology. A key focus will be on how insights from nanotechnology can be utilized for the further SSbD development of innovative advanced materials.
In the second part, we would like to discuss in two consecutive sessions:
What can Advanced Materials research learn from Nano Materials research? Where are main similarities; where might be differences and challenges?
Where do you see the main benefit of a future IAM-I Academy? What would you expect to get from it and what could you contribute?
Target Groups: Researchers and other specialists working in the area of advanced materials in industry, analytical laboratories and regulating authorities.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
