Databases & Computational Modeling for NanoEHS

The Data & Modelling – Risk Assessment Community of Research (CoR) “Taj Mahal” project meetings will run weekly at 10am EST (16 CET) every Wednesday starting June 3 through the end of summer. (Meeting instructions provided at end here.)

These CoR meetings (which will also join up to interaction and feedback with other CoRs) will initially define…[Read more]

The Databases Working Group of the European NanoSafety Cluster distributed a survey on relevant databases earlier this year. Based on the input received, the group drafted a summary of their findings (http://figshare.com/articles/Summary_of_the_Spring_2014_NSC_Database_Survey/1195888). This was the first time that the group surveyed available…[Read more]

The EU NanoSafety Cluster WG4 (Database) announces immediate availability of an online NanoSafety Database Survey https://tinyurl.com/wg4dbSurvey

This survey is a first in a biannual continuous effort and attempt to collect, organise and share up-to-date information about NanoSafety related databases worldwide. The resulting list of databases…[Read more]

I would like to share with you an opportunity to work with a new online journal from Nature Publishing Group called Scientific Data, which focuses on publishing descriptions of data. The goal of Scientific Data is to help authors publish content that promotes the scientific value and reusability of their datasets and, in turn, gives investigators…[Read more]

The Nanotechnology Knowledge Infrastructure (NKI) Signature Initiative of the U.S. National Nanotechnology Initiative coordinates the nanoscale science, engineering, and technology communities around the fundamental, interconnected elements of collaborative modeling, a cyber-toolbox, and data infrastructure that will capitalize on American…[Read more]

During the February 4, 2013 meeting of ANSI’s Nanotechnology Standards Panel (ANSI-NSP), one of the recommendations agreed upon was the development of a freely accessible, online database (to be hosted by ANSI) of relevant nanotechnology standards, codes, and guidelines, to help increase awareness of existing published documents as well as t…[Read more]
