About Beyond NanoEHS Risk Assessments
Responsible commercialization of new technologies requires leadership at the interface of science and business. For example, advances in materials and applications require a constant attention to the potential risks for the environment, health, and safety (EHS). The development of nanomaterials over the last fifteen years serves as a useful example of a framework for responsibly commercializing new technologies. This course will provide an overview of how to use a tiered-approach framework for identify and mitigating potential risks during the R&D and product development cycle, while also improving the leadership skills required to develop a culture focused on success.
