NCP Flanders organises this webinar on the Safe and Sustainable by Design Framework: a guidance to scientists developing new chemicals or materials with the aim to make these safer and more sustainable.

It aims to

  • steer the innovation process towards the green and sustainable industrial transition
  • substitute or minimise the production and use of substances of concern, in line with, and beyond existing and upcoming regulatory obligations
  • minimise the impact on health, climate and the environment during sourcing, production, use and end-of-life of chemicals, materials and products

The Commission Recommendation from 8 December 2022 which announced the Framework reaches beyond HE projects, encouraging also national programmes to take up or industry to apply the framework when developing new chemicals or materials.

A representative of DG Research & Innovation from the European Commission will speak about the purpose of the framework, how it is to be used as part of a projects technical activities and the current status of the testing phase.

In a second part an expert from the Flemish Institute for Technological Research (VITO) will shed some light on the content of the SSbD framework.

There will be time for Q&A at the end of the presentations.

SAPHIRe - Securing the Adoption of Personalised Medicin in Regions

The Department of Economy, Science and Innovation of the Flemish government coordinates the Horizon 2020 Coordination and Support Action SAPHIRe, which started on 1 December 2018. The aim of the project is to secure the adoption of personalised medicine in all European regions, including sparsely populated and remote regions and regions with different innovation capacities. 

The activities of SAPHIRe are complementary to the smart specialisation partnership on personalised medicine – S3P4PM, which is also coordinated by the Department of Economy, Science and Innovation.
