EUIndTech2025

EU flagship event organized under the Polish presidency of the EU Council “Technologies and Materials for Sustainable Europe” will take place in Kraków from 2-4 June 2025. The event is a continuation of the Conference on Industrial Technologies (IndTech) and the Euro Nano Forum. It gathers cyclical events, Conference on Industrial Technologies and Euro Nano Forum. The event brings together stakeholders from research organizations, industry, NGOs and policymakers to discuss the state-of-the-art technologies, challenges and trends.

We want to specially highlight the Designing Safe and Sustainable Materials and Chemicals – SSbD Implementation and Digitalization session on 2 June 2025, 14:30–16:00.

Designing safe and sustainable by Design (SSbD) materials and chemicals is crucial for advancing environmentally responsible practices in various industries. Effective implementation of SSbD principles requires integrating safety- and sustainability-related aspects in the earliest stages of product design. Here, digitalisation can play a vital role providing innovative tools for data analysis, multi-objective-driven material selection processes, and prospective lifecycle assessment. These interdisciplinary technologies need to be based on collaboration among different stakeholders along the value chain, enabling the sharing of knowledge and best practice, facilitating and enhancing decision-making. Leveraging digital platforms enables materials and chemicals value chains to continuously monitor and improve the sustainability of their products.

The NSC-session will address the importance of integrated approaches, data-related expectations, advantages, challenges for ultimately balancing ecological and economic goals for a more sustainable future.
