From: 1.01.2018  to 30.06.2021 
Coordinated by: SWANSEA UNIVERSITY
QSAR Lab – member of consortium.

The coordinator of the PATROLS project at QSAR LAB company is PhD Eng Karolina Jagiełło.

PATROLS, a H2020 Project, is setting out to change the way we think about and test engineered nanomaterials to ensure they are safe and fit for purpose.  PATROLS aims to develop an enhanced suite of robust, reproducible and transferable in vitro tests, which will offer improved prediction of the long-term nanomaterial hazard effects in humans and the environment. These next-generation test systems will be fit for purpose to better support regulatory risk decision making and reduce the reliance on animal testing.

PATROLS scientific outputs

PATROLS aims to deliver:

  • 3D tissue models of lung, gastro-intestinal tract and liver for ENM testing to reduce the need for animal tests
  • Novel methods for safety assessment in ecological test systems to better understand the impact of environmental ENM exposure.
  • Robust computational models for ENM exposure and hazard prediction to enhance predictive risk modelling
  • Characterisation of ENMs under realistic exposure conditions to improve relevance of nanosafety testing

The coordinator of the NanoSolveIT project at QSAR LAB company is Anna Rybińska-Fryca.

NanoSolveIT aspires to introduce a groundbreaking in silico Integrated Approach to Testing and Assessment (IATA) of the environmental health and safety of Nanomaterials (NM) that will be implemented through a decision support system packaged as both a stand-alone open software and via a Cloud platform.

NanoSolveIT scientific outputs

NanoSolveIT will develop and deliver:

  • a reliable user friendly knowledge-based infrastructure for data hosting, sharing and exploitation,
  • NM fingerprints, i.e., sets of nanodescriptors and properties that can be predictively linked to NM functionality, exposure and hazard thereby supporting NM grouping, safe-by-design (SbD) and regulatory risk assessment (RA),
  • innovative methodologies for NMs predictive (eco)toxicology underpinned by artificial intelligence (AI) and state-of-the-art in silico techniques,
  • integration with currently developing multi-scale modelling, RA and governance frameworks in EU H2020 funded and in the forthcoming NMBP-13 project(s).

The coordinator of the RiskGONE project at QSAR LAB company is PhD Eng Anita Sosnowska.

RiskGONE will support the standardization and validation process for ENM by evaluating, optimizing and pre-validating SOPs and TGs and integrating them into a framework for risk governance (RG) of ENMs.

 

The objectives of the RiskGONE project:

  • Establish a science-based nanomaterials safety governance body, in the form of a transparent, self-sustained Risk Governance Council, representing EU Member States and public authorities, scientific experts, civil society and industry
  • Develop a modular risk governance decision-making framework addressing different aspects of governance
  • Produce nano-specific draft guidance documents to support risk governance of nanomaterials

The coordinator of the PROMISCES project at QSAR LAB company is PhD Eng Anita Sosnowska.
 
The Horizon 2020-funded project is developing technologies to remove these pollutants from soils, sediments, surface- and groundwater, since they can be harmful to human health:
 
• “PROMISCES aims to enable a safe circular economy for the soil-sediment-water cycle.”
• “PROMISCES will develop, test and demonstrate in the field, under “real-life conditions”, key technologies and innovations to monitor, prevent and remediate industrial persistent and mobile and potentially toxic (iPM(T)s) pollutants in the soil-sediment-water system.”
• “PROMISCES is centred around seven representative case studies in different European regions linked with chemical pollution challenges. The project will support the sustainability roadmap of urbanised areas by reducing the environmental impacts on waters (surface and groundwater, urban runoff, wastewater, landfill leachate), soils (contaminated sites, brownfields) and dredged sediments (river, sea-ports).”
• “PROMISCES will provide concepts for zero-pollution circularity applied to waters (e.g. water reuse for irrigation, bank filtration for drinking water supply) and complex solid matrices (land recycling, nutrient recovery from sewage sludge, dredged sediment valorisation) across the private and public sectors.”
• “PROMISCES will have a particular focus on PFAS compounds that reflects the urgent need for better management of historic and current pollutant emissions within the different circular economy routes. The focus on other iPM(T)s reflects the need to apply lessons learned from PFAS threats to human health to a wider range of chemicals, including those replacing PFAS after the EU-wide ban on usage and production”.

NOVEL ELECTRODE COATINGS AND INTERCONNECT FOR SUSTAINABLE AND REUSABLESOEC
 
The coordinator of the NOUVEAU project at QSAR LAB company is PhD Alicja Mikołajczyk.
 

The Horizon 2020-funded project NOUVEAU will develop solid oxide cells with novel electrode materials and interconnects with a reduced amount of REE, PGM and Cr by employing innovative coating methodologies and modelling, in combination with sustainable-by-design aspects and recycling options.

The deployment of renewable energy (electricity or non-fossil H2) to chemicals and fuels towards the desired transition from fossil fuel dependency to a sustainable low-carbon energy future. The resulting technology will thus be closely aligned with the SusChem’s Strategic Innovation and Research Agenda 2020, complying with SusChem’s sustainability and industrial priorities for advanced materials; digital technologies and technologies for chemical energy storage and generation. The use of the developed NOUVEAU technology is expected to play an important role in meeting national and international carbon reduction targets leading towards a zero-carbon future, including the 2015 Paris Agreement on Climate Change and the European Commission's Energy Roadmap 2050.
