On behalf of the Gov4Nano Coordination Team and our host and partner TEMAS AG, it is our pleasure to announce and invite you to the third Gov4Nano Consortium Meeting, taking place from the 3 till the 5 March 2020, in Opfikon (near Zurich), Switzerland.

Following the progress we made in the previous consortium meetings, we will draw up a programme that will enable you to actively participate in the further development of a nano-risk governance framework that really meets the needs of nanotechnology. We will be discussing the progress and the next steps to be taken regarding the different work packages as well as our five main topics (development of the Nano Risk Governance council, Nano Risk Governance Framework, FAIR data, Stakeholder engagement, Portal and tools). The Gov4Nano journey is getting well on track, and in the following period we need all of your brainpower to really get up to speed towards our destination. Therefore, we would like to encourage you to bring your expertise and ideas to the table during the upcoming consortium meeting.

Also, during the 3rd Consortium Meeting we will be convening for our formal General Assembly meeting, for which, as you know, attendance of all partners is required.

A global outline for the three day-meeting:

3rd of March ≈ 10 am – 5 pm for partners: Parallel sessions, technical meetings for the work packages
4th of March ≈ 9 am – 5 pm for partners: Plenary/parallel sessions on the main topics; including status of the project and a General Assembly
