SSbD24 Conference
This November the SSBD24 Conference takes place at the Conference Centre Monte Verità. The conference aims to bring together experts form various relevant fields and sectors working on methods, tools and criteria to enable the use of SSbD. Experts will present their experiences in applying the SSbD framework in case studies and their views on how concepts and related policy needs can be operationalized.
SUNSHINE Webinar: Demonstration of the SUNSHINE Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD) Digital E-infrastructure
About
SUNSHINE has developed a novel digitally-based e-infrastructure to enable Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD) decision making whilst future-proofing your products in preparation for policy compliance!
During this public stakeholder workshop we will present a SUNSHINE SSbD E-infrastructure and will discuss the alignment of its functionalities with the needs of different stakeholders spanning from regulators to civil society and SME/ industry to ensure both its long-term sustainability and its applicability for SSbD approach.
To achieve this, we need your support!
Who should attend?
Regulatory compliance officers for chemical manufacturers and importers
Formulators and product manufacturers of nano-enabled products
Industry and academia representatives in nanotechnology and advanced materials
National and regional regulators
Policymakers, NGOs, standardisation bodies
SUNSHINE e-infrastructure key services and features:
Trusted information storing and sharing between users via built-in block chain technology - you can benefit from access to free of charge curated data, protocols, SOPs, models and tools
Easy to use: Practical, user-friendly and time-efficient tools for screening level (TIER 1) and complex (TIER 2) safety and sustainability assessments for the early stages of product development
Future-proof and prepare your products for policy and regulatory compliance - grounded on the EC Recommendation and the JRC Framework for SSbD chemicals and materials, our assessment and decision support tools will allow you to design a novel yet compliant product. Our research teams base their models on the idea of incorporating regulatory compliance checks in the early stage assessments.
Meet the regulators discussion space - a unique service designed to facilitate dialogue between innovators and regulators and other actors in the value chain in a trusted environment, to provide feedback to regulators and policy makers on current regulatory gaps, and to help prepare for upcoming regulatory changes.

Speakers
(in alphabetical order)
Alex Zabeo
He is a founding partner and CTO of GreenDecision Srl (www.greendecision.eu). Ph.D. in Computer Science, his research activities focus on decision analysis, probabilistic risk assessment and life cycle assessment (LCA). He has a proven track record in the design and development of standard and geographic decision support (DSS) systems and in Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) - Fuzzy Logic (FL) - Value of Information (VoI) based assessment methodologies as well as in the design and implementation of studies and software related to Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and the management of complex sensor networks and the Internet of Things (IoT). He has led the Decision Support area of several European and national projects.
Danail Hristozov
Dr. Danail Hristozov is the Head of Research at Greendecision Srl, a spin-off company of University Ca’ Foscari of Venice in Italy and the East European Research and Innovation Enterprise (EMERGE) in Bulgaria. There he performs integrative research across the areas of risk assessment and management of bio and nanomaterials used in consumer products and medicine as part of the large-scale EU H2020 projects GRACIOUS, BIORIMA, REFINE, caLIBRAte, Gov4Nano, NanoInformaTIX and SAFE-N-MEDTECH. Danail is also the Coordinator of the large H2020 research project SUNSHINE, which focuses on Safe and Sustainable by Design of multi-component advanced nanomaterials.
Danail has been a senior research scientist at the Department of Environmental Sciences, Informatics and Statistics of the University of Venice, where he acted as the Principal Investigator of the large EU FP7 project SUN. Over the last years, Danail contributed to several EU projects, including MARINA, NANOforART, ENPRA, ITS-NANO, GLOCOM, ECONANOSOPRB and EPSEI, also as a research staff of the private sector companies Venice Research Consortium and Veneto Nanotech.
In his early years as a researcher, Danail was employed at the Chair of Industrial Sustainability of the Brandenburg University of Technology in Germany.
Lisa Pizzol
Lisa Pizzol, PhD in environmental science from the University Ca’ Foscari of Venice, is a senior scientist and consultant specializing in risk assessment, management, and sustainability evaluation of chemical substances and nano(bio)materials used in industrial products and medical devices. With expertise in the application of multi-criteria decision analysis methodologies in the environmental sector, she has also played a key role in developing software-based decision support systems for environmental issues. Presently, her focus lies in conducting sustainability assessments for products, processes, services, and organizations through the implementation of life cycle assessment (LCA), life cycle costing (LCC), and social life cycle assessment (s-LCA) in the frame of the operationalisation of the SSbD JRC-Framework. Lisa has actively participated in and contributed to various EU and national projects, including SUNSHINE, SAFE-n-MEDTECH, REFINE, BIORIMA, caLIBRAte, GLOCOM, SYRIADE, TIMBRE, SUN, FOKS, and DESYRE. Beyond her research roles, she serves as the President and CEO of GreenDecision.
Magda Blosi
Magda Blosi, PhD in Industrial Chemistry from the University of Bologna (2009), is a researcher at the National Research Council of Italy within the Institute of Science, Technology, and Sustainability for Ceramics (CNR-ISSMC). Specializing in the synthesis and characterization of inorganic and hybrid nanoforms, her research focuses on their applications as catalysts, photocatalysts for water and air treatment, and the development of multifunctional surface coatings with antibacterial, antiviral, and hydrophobic properties. Currently, within the EU project SUNSHINE, she leads the task on SbD material design strategies and Laurentia’s case study. She is also a co-author of seven international patents on nanomaterials and has published more than 80 scientific papers in international journals.
