What exactly are nanoparticles? What is meant by “exposure”? When do toxicologists speak of a risk? This and many more questions regarding research on safety aspects of nanomaterials are answered here: www.nanoobjects.info
Starting from November 2012 the EU funded project NanoEIS will investigate the European labour market for personnel trained in nanotechnology.
The relevance of existing nanotechnology education and training in universities, vocational training institutes and secondary schools for the needs of industrial and other employers will also be explored. By 2015, a model curriculum will be made available online.
The Project addresses the following questions:
The projects website http://www.nanoeis.eu/nanoeis.html will be launched in December 2012 offering one-stop shop for information on nanotechnology education for all stakeholders.
About the project
NanoEIS is a project funded by the European Union under Framework Programme 7 for Research and Technology Development (grant agreement 319054), from 1 November 2012 until 31 October 2015.The project will be coordinated by the University Salzburg (Austria) with partners from Belgium, Ireland, Israel, Netherlands, Poland and the UK.

Information on the sponsorship programmes of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research on nanotechnologies for humans and the environment.
A database with important and generally understandable aspects on health and environment of applied nanomaterials as well as facts on the safety of manufactured nanomaterials.
The chapters on release, exposure, uptake and behavior of nanomaterials in the human body and in the environment as well as the risk assessment will give you a first overview.
