Nanotechnology has shown potential in introducing new innovations into agriculture from nanofertilizers and nanopesticides, through to the use of sensors for crop monitoring and nanofilters for cleaning agricultural wastewater. Similarly, the use of nanomaterials in foods is also an area that has shown promise, with many research projects focussing on how to make use of nano in food ingredients and also in the production of foodstuffs, such as using nano sensors. This webinar will present a snapshot of some of these topics and show some of the work being undertaken in this field.

NIA and member Promethean Particles will be presenting at Surfex webinar on 12 March 2021.

Join OECD Environment to discuss the scope, content, and use of the Test Guideline No. 318: Dispersion Stability of Nanomaterials in Simulated Environmental Media and its accompanying Guidance Document. Further discussions will focus on the scope of the upcoming Test Guideline.

As one of its final dissemination activities, H2020 project PATROLS - in which NIA is partner - will be holding a stakeholder workshop to showcase the tools and advanced methods that have been developed within the project.

Join our first Nano in Business webinar of 2021 and meet our latest Member SUNUM.

Universities and research organisations play a key role in the innovation value chain and can both bring new innovations to market and ensure that industry has access to cutting edge knowledge and facilities. Collaborations between the research base and industry can help in bringing new innovations to the market and helping in the better commercialisation of new nanomaterials.
