Novel materials and nano-risk in semiconductor industry

Advanced materials, such as engineered nanomaterials and carbon-based materials, are expected to become a pillar of the European industrial development. The market acceptance of such materials depends on the sufficient understanding of their health safety properties both in terms of occupational hazards and in the impact on the ecosystem. The workshop aims at discussing the risk assessment frameworks, which are applicable to engineered nanomaterials used in semiconductor industry. The meeting will present how and where nanomaterials are used in typical semiconductor fabs based on the findings of NanoStreeM . The workshop will conclude with a panel discussion on the steps necessary to further enable use of nanomaterials throughout the industry and appropriately govern the emergent risks.

The workshop will take place as a satellite event ot Semicon Europa 2018.

The event is free of charge but registration is necessary.
