The document presents a blueprint for establishing National Nanosafety Centers (NNCs). It discusses what nanosafety is and why NNCs are needed given the growth of the nanotechnology market. It outlines the methodology used to develop the blueprint, which included an online survey of 16 existing NNCs and a workshop. The results of the survey are presented on organization structure, objectives, services, knowledge dissemination, networks, and clientele of NNCs. Conclusions provide guidelines for countries looking to establish their own NNC. The document ends by discussing the need for an NNC in Colombia specifically, given its growing nanotechnology sector.

4. What is Nanosafety?
Iván Trujillo
The major challenge for nanosafety research today and into the foreseeable future
will be to reduce the uncertainty around the safety of these materials and technologies.
The uncertainty arises from our incomplete ability to assess reliably exposure to these
materials and hazards associated with the exposure.
“safe-by-design”
paradigm
Nanosafety is all the safety issues
associated with nanotechnology

14. Objective
Iván Trujillo
Present a blueprint or set of guidelines for the planning
and development of sustainable national centers
dealing with the safety of nanomaterials and nanotechnologies
toward public health and environment.
National
Nanosafety Center
(NNC)
For the development of nanotechnology along
the innovation chain, engineered nanomaterials (ENMs),
nano-enabled products, and applications need a clear and
Easy-to-follow human and environmental safety framework

1
Online Survey
In the first phase of the blueprint
development, an online
survey of the 19 NNCs in Table
was carried out from
September 11 to October 13, 2018.
The survey was carried out online using a
questionnaire which was
constructed to collect the information about
the organization model, objectives,
services, network, communication,
funding, and clientele of an NNC.
Before it was published online, a first draft of
the questionnaire was
circulated among the EC4SafeNano
project consortium partners for their review.
They were also briefed about
the purpose and content of the questionnaire.
The representatives from 19 NNCs in
Table were invited to respond
to the survey and 16 respondents
that completed the
survey represented 16 different NNCs.
The questionnaire
was edited according to the received
feedback, and the
final version was published online.

Workshop
The second phase consisted of
an interactive workshop
which was organized on November 5, 2018
during the Sixth International Conference
nanoSAFE 2018 in Grenoble, France
In total, 44 people participated in this workshop from 18 EU member states, i.e., Austria,
Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece,
Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and UK.
The group of participants are comprised of various stakeholder groups of researchers (13),
Academics (12), industry (9), civil society (3), regulators (4), consultants (2), and government (EC; 1).
They were asked to vote on the list of questions
presented in supplementary information.
The questions mainly focused on their preferences,
concerns, and needs while interacting with the NNCs.
The voting was done using an interactive
tool (Mentimeter, https://www.mentimeter.com/)
in which the participants could see the number
of received votes for each option in real-time.
