Framework information
Introduction
The NMBP-13 projects have adapted existing frameworks to meet the needs and expectations of various stakeholder groups in relation to the Risk Governance of nanomaterials and nano-enabled products. The NANORIGO and RiskGONE projects have based their work on the Risk Governance framework developed by the IRGC, which they have adapted to their needs, while the Gov4Nano project has followed an approach focused on innovation and the work performed within the caLIBRAte project. Information on the ongoing work is provided below, which will be updated by the end of the project duration.
NANORIGO web platform
NANORIGO is developing and implementing a transparent, transdisciplinary and active comprehensive Risk Governance Framework (NRGF) for manufactured nanomaterials (NM) and nano-enabled products (NEP), based on the use of scientific high-quality data and tools, communication and interaction engagement with all stakeholders, and embedded in European regulation and legislation.

RiskGONE framework
The RiskGONE project partners have adapted the IRGC framework to fit the needs and requirements of the project. The following paper provides an overview of the state-of-the-art regarding risk governance of NMs and lays out the theoretical basis for the development and implementation of an effective, trustworthy and transparent risk governance framework for NMs. The proposed framework enables continuous integration of the evolving state of the science, leverages best practice from contiguous disciplines and facilitates responsive re-thinking of nanosafety governance to meet future needs.

caLIBRAte x Gov4Nano nano-risk governance framework
Gov4Nano refined the nano-risk innovation governance approach from the EU H2020 caLIBRAte project aligning with ISO standards and adopting elements of the Safe Innovation Approach from NanoReg and NanoReg2. Key objectives were increasing flexibility of the framework, include safety-by-design thinking, and selection of high-performance methods and tools to support the framework.
