Developing safe nanomaterials has become a major concern in all the industry sectors using advanced materials. However, there are very few initiatives addressing this issue. The SERENADE project, with its long-term funding scheme, provided a unique opportunity to foster a coordinated, yet diverse approach to investigate the safe-by-design development of nanomaterials in a variety of application fields, using a targeted set of inter-disciplinary case studies. The originality of the approach was to cover as many multiple technology readiness levels (TRLs) and life cycle stages as possible, combined with shared hazard and end-of-life assessments in an effort towards a (more) comprehensive and resource driven research.

开发安全的纳米材料已成为所有使用先进材料的工业领域的主要关注点。但是，解决这一问题的举措很少。SERENADE项目及其长期资助计划，提供了一个难得的机会，可以通过有针对性的跨学科研究，在多种应用领域中探索一种协调而多样的方法来研究纳米材料的安全设计开发实例探究。该方法的独创性是涵盖尽可能多的多种技术准备水平（TRL）和生命周期阶段，并结合共享的危害和寿命终止评估，以进行（更多）全面和资源驱动的研究。
