The Nanotechnology Industries Association (NIA) is pleased to announce its participation in the Particles Platform, an important collaborative initiative that brings together EU industry associations focused on particulate materials. This strategic alliance enables the NIA to strengthen its advocacy role and ensure that the unique perspectives of the nanotechnology sector are represented in discussions with European regulatory bodies.
Representing the Nano Community
As the only member organization exclusively dedicated to nanoscale materials, the NIA will play a vital role in advocating for the interests of its members and the wider nanotechnology community within this platform.
Blanca Suarez, NIA's Director of Regulatory Affairs, highlights the significance of this collaboration: "Being part of the Particles Platform gives the NIA the opportunity to join with other associations in speaking with the European Commission on all matters around particles. As the only member who solely concentrates on nanoscale materials, we will have an important role in representing the interests of our sector."
About the Particles Platform
The Particles Platform serves as an informal alliance of EU industry associations committed to enhancing scientific understanding, facilitating information exchange, and developing science-based practical solutions for regulatory and policy developments related to materials in the form of particles.
Through this collaborative approach, the platform aims to address common challenges and opportunities in particle-related regulations, while respecting the unique characteristics and requirements of different industrial sectors.
Member Engagement
The NIA is committed to actively representing its members' interests within the Particles Platform. Members who wish to raise specific issues or learn more about how this initiative might affect their operations can contact Blanca Suarez or Sean directly. They will be happy to bring member concerns to the Platform for discussion and alignment with associations from other sectors.
