Intergovernmental Forum on Chemical Safety Presents: Forum VI

IFCS provides an open, transparent and inclusive forum for discussing issues of common interest and also new and emerging issues in the area of sound management of chemicals. IFCS plays a unique multi-faceted role as a flexible, open and transparent brainstorming and bridge-building forum for Governments, intergovernmental organizations and non-governmental organizations including from the private sector. This role has facilitated consensus building on issues and actions addressing the sound management of chemicals. By its efforts it contributes to the implementation of the Strategic Approach to International Chemicals Management (SAICM) and the work of other chemicals-related international organizations and institutions.

Nanotech Northern Europe 2008
The event is intended to be a place for the global nanotechnology community to meet, collaborate, and do business.  Nanotechnology encompasses a huge range of technologies, at differing stages of development. That’s why Nanotech Northern Europe not only features excellent research work, but also enables companies to convey their visions for the market impact of nanotechnology, or to demonstrate their commercial products in our fully-integrated exhibition.  Themes include: Health and Bio (Nanobiotechnology and nanomedicine); Electronics (Nanotechnology for information and communications technology); Energy (Sustainable solutions for energy and the environment); Water (Nanotechnology and the global challenge of access to clean water); Food (Nanotechnology and the food industry); Construction (Nanotechnology for environmentally-friendly construction); Safety (Safe development of nanotechnology); and Investment (Public Funding, Technology Transfer, Research/Industry Cooperation).
