Focused session at the SMS 2026
The 11th edition of the Smart Materials and Surfaces (SMS 2026) will bring together, from 21st to 23rd October 2026 in Seville (Spain), experts from academia and industry to exchange insights on solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges, from healthcare to climate change, and advanced material design.
The conference, organised by SETCOR, will connect researchers across 6 specialized sessions covering from Quantum Nanomaterials to Bio-medical Surfaces, and will offer the room for strategic networking and build partnerships with delegates from international industry leaders and top-tier universities.
The SSbD4CheM project will have a focused session entitled “Integrating Evidence-Based Environmental and Safety Assessment into SSbD: Methodologies and Case Studies”, that will explore how evidence-based environmental assessment can be effectively integrated into Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD) workflows. It will present the methodologies and approaches applied within the SSbD4CheM project to assess environmental and safety aspects and support informed decision-making throughout the design process. The session will also showcase how these approaches are being implemented in the project’s case studies (textile, automotive and cosmetics), highlighting practical experiences, challenges and lessons learned. Together, the contributions will demonstrate how environmental evidence can strengthen SSbD assessments and support the development of safer and more sustainable chemicals and materials.
Our speakers (preliminary list):
- Emmanuel Maillard (Edelweiss Connect)
- Pablo Tovillas Greca (NOVEX)
- Ondrej Panák (NIC)
- Blanca Pozuelo (ITENE)
Keywords of the session: environmental assessment, safety, SSbD, LCA, cosmetics, personal care products, bio-based materials, nanomaterials
Looking forward to meeting many of you there!
