On April 20th, 2016, The German Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (BAuA) invited to an international symposium on asbestos-like fibres from nanomaterials and other advanced materials. The goal was to initiate a transdisciplinary debate among representatives from academia, regulatory agencies, industry, and other interested parties in the governance landscape on advanced materials. It was also addressed to the members of the WHO Guideline Development Group "WHO Guidelines on Nanomaterials and Workers' Health", who held a face-to-face meeting on April 18/19, 2016, at BAuA in Dortmund.
- The presentations given during the symposium can be downloaded via the BAuA Website: http://www.baua.de/en/Topics-from-A-to-Z/Hazardous-Substances/Workshops/Symposium-2016/Symposium-2016.html
