NanoSolveIT’s ambition is to advance nanoinformatics well beyond the state-of-the art by developing and implementing innovative modelling techniques and tools that will be integrated within NanoSolveIT IATA and then incorporated into a sustainable interoperable product, the NanoSolveIT e-platform, which will become an essential element for supporting industrial and regulatory nano-risk governance and the anticipated nano-risk governance council established in the EU H2020 NMBP-13-2018 call.
NanoSolveIT will develop a validated tiered IATA to identify the critical characteristics of nanomaterials responsible for their adverse effects on human health and the environment or for their functionalities in high-tech applications, and will implement a nanoinformatics-driven decision-support strategy based on innovative in silico methods, models and tools. An important novel concept is the nanomaterial fingerprint – a set of descriptors and properties that can be predictively linked to nanomaterials properties, functionality and hazard by the development and integration of advanced nanoinformatics methods and tools.
