Voorbeeldzinnen

1. materials sciences (including nanotechnology) and metrology,
2. Moreover, the activity will focus on related challenges and the societal context and acceptance of nanotechnology.
3. Convergence applications will be pursued in the area of health (bio-sensors, nanotechnology and cognitive sciences), security (sensors, public security and personal integrity) and environment (monitoring technologies and sustainable environmental management).
4. In 2004, with its Communication ‘Towards a European strategy for nanotechnology’ [4], the Commission identified actions aimed at creating the Community added value necessary to remain competitive in this sector while ensuring its responsible development.
5. A key element of this theme is the effective integration of nanotechnology, materials sciences, design and new production methods so as to achieve and maximise the impacts for industrial transformation and, at the same time, supporting sustainable production and consumption.
6. Promotion of the establishment of thematic networks of scientific excellence between EU, national and international Risk Assessment (RA) and scientific advisory bodies for exchange and collaboration on critical issues like nanotechnology, antimicrobial resistance, EMF, as well as on RA methodological aspects (e.g. benchmark approach, non-threshold carcinogenic substances, risk/benefit assessment etc.). [Financing mechanism: Call for proposals]
7.

8. Taking into account the results of a public consultation, the Commission drew up in 2005 a Nanotechnologies Action Plan [6] which sets out coherent and interconnected actions for the immediate implementation of an integrated, safe and responsible strategy for nanosciences and nanotechnologies based on the priority areas identified in the Communication ‘Towards a European strategy for nanotechnology’.
9. Specific actions may include: activities with industrialised countries and those having signed a S&T cooperation agreement in the fields of the theme; specific initiatives with emerging economies and developing countries to secure their access to knowledge; dialogue with major countries on a ‘code of conduct’ for the responsible and safe development of nanotechnology; and the Intelligent Manufacturing Systems (IMS) scheme, which allows RTD cooperation between its member regions.
10. When a food additive is already included in a Community list and there is a significant change in its production methods or in the starting materials used, or there is a change in particle size, for example through nanotechnology, the food additive prepared by those new methods or materials shall be considered as a different additive and a new entry in the Community lists or a change in the specifications shall be required before it can be placed on the market.
