38. THE OPEN SERENDIPITYCOMMUNITY NETWORK WWW.ALTERNATIVESERENDIPITY.COM As national and international regulatory authorities demand more stringent files on safety of products, REACH and the7th amendment of the cosmetic industry being prime examples, there is a major global challenge to replace animals in raw material and finished product testing. Thisaffects a number of industries such as pharmaceutical, biotechnology, environment, chemical, food to name a few.The challenge to replace animals with in vitro tests has proven to be exceptionally difficult. The convergence of test performance (sensitivity & specificity) with amenable technologies has not been possible for the majority of tests. For example, alternative tests to replace eye irritation, long term repeat dosing and skin barriers have not been possible. There is a distinct need to innovate in this domain. The alternative serendipity community brings together technologists that can address the technical issues surrounding this challenge. - Cell culture specialists - in vitro technology and microfluidic specialists - data management specialists The community will also provide exchange witho leaders of opinion in - regulatory affairs - CRO users of alternative technologies This community addresses the needs of a multitude of industries and will seek to attract - the pharmaceutical industry - the biotechnology industry - FMCG and in particular the cosmetic industry - the agro-chemical industry - the food industry……………………….. www.alternativeserendipity.com In vitro methods to replace animal models in toxicitytestingin industry www.energyserendipity.com Alternative energytechnologygeneration, storage, transport… Nanotechnologies theirapplicaction to healthcare, food, environment…. www.nanoserendipity.com Sustainablechemistryindustry, food, FMGCs… www.greenserendipity.com unintentionallyintentional Propose and add a communitythat has highindustrialpotential © openserendipity.com all rightsreserved

39. THE OPEN SERENDIPITYCOMMUNITY NETWORK WWW.ENERGYSERENDIPITY.COM Renewable electricity production, from sources such as wind power and solar power, is sometimes criticized for being variable or intermittent. However, the International Energy Agency has stated that deployment of renewable technologies usually increases the diversity of electricity sources and, through local generation, contributes to supply flexibility. The market for renewable energy technologies has continued to grow. Climate change concerns, coupled with high oil prices, dwindling oil reserves and increasing government support driving renewable energy legislation, incentives and commercialization., increased government spending, regulation and policies havz all helped the industry weather the 2009 economic crisis better than many other sectors of the system and increase its resistance to central shocks. Renewable energy is derived from natural processes that are replenished constantly. In its various forms, it derives directly from the sun, or from heat generated deep within the earth. Included in the definition is electricity and heat generated from solar, wind, ocean, hydropower, biomass, geothermal resources, biofuels and hydrogen derived from renewable resources. The Energy Serendipity community brings together specialists in all areas of alternative energy technology innovation. These address - power generation - heating - transportation The community will bring ideas, technologies and solutions to the challenges of energy production from alternative sources to fossil fuels as well as how this new energy is transported and stocked. The community will attract multiple industries from energy producers to transport consumers . www.alternativeserendipity.com In vitro methods to replace animal models in toxicitytestingin industry www.energyserendipity.com Alternative energytechnologygeneration, storage, transport… Nanotechnologies theirapplicaction to healthcare, food, environment…. www.nanoserendipity.com Sustainablechemistryindustry, food, FMGCs… www.greenserendipity.com unintentionallyintentional Propose and add a communitythat has highindustrialpotential © openserendipity.com all rightsreserved

40. THE OPEN SERENDIPITYCOMMUNITY NETWORK WWW.NANOSERENDIPITY.COM Nanotechnology is defined as the study and use of structures between 1 and 100 nanometers. Although scientists have been studying and working with nanotechnologies for centuries, in recent years the emergence of tools capable of displaying down to atoms have opened this area to innovation before impossible. This ability to see nano-sized materials has opened up a world of possibilities in a variety of industries and scientific endeavors. Because nanotechnology is essentially a set oftechniques that allow manipulation of properties at a very small scale, it can have many applications but also open issues and concerns in regulatory affairs and safety. Nanotechnologies have been applied to a vast range of applications Fuels Electronics Air quality Medical technologies Water quality Pharmaceuticals Chemical and biological sensors Space technology Energy management Fabrics Food science Sports goods Consumer goods The use of nanotechnologies also requires careful consideration of safety and toxicity. The Energy Serendipity community brings together specialists to address this diversity of challenges involved in nanotechnologies. www.alternativeserendipity.com In vitro methods to replace animal models in toxicitytestingin industry www.energyserendipity.com Alternative energytechnologygeneration, storage, transport… Nanotechnologies theirapplicaction to healthcare, food, environment…. www.nanoserendipity.com Sustainablechemistryindustry, food, FMGCs… www.greenserendipity.com unintentionallyintentional Propose and add a communitythat has highindustrialpotential © openserendipity.com all rightsreserved

41. THE OPEN SERENDIPITYCOMMUNITY NETWORK WWW.GREENSERENDIPITY.COM Green Chemistry focuses on efficient use of sustainable raw materials through the application of clean technology. It aims to reduce or eliminate the use or generation of substances that are hazardous to health and the environ-ment in the design, manufacture and application of chemical products in a wide range of industries. It focuses on enhancing processes and products to meet legislative requirements and to provide more efficient and more competitive and profitable solutions.The benefits of green chemistry are apparent in multiple industries : paints, dyes, textiles, adhesives, agrochemical, personal care, paper, pharmaceutical, plastics to name a few. Green chemistry has a significant impact on product life cycle as seen in consumer goods, retailers, supermarkets and government institutions. No company can afford to let their processes or products stand still in the light of increasingly stringent legislation, with growing market competitiveness calling for more efficient and more environmentally friendly processes and products. Green Serendipity consists of a community of selected individuals and institutes that are recognized leaders of opinion in green chemistry.
