SSbD4CheM@ 3rd Collab4Resilience (C4R) meeting

On 11th May 2026, SSbD4CheM partners (Beatriz Alfaro, BNN) part in the third networking workshop of the Collab4Resilience (C4R) initiative, organised by the CheMatSustain communication team. The initiative brings together projects working on safe and sustainable chemicals and nanomaterials, with the goal of strengthening collaboration and amplifying the impact of communication and dissemination activities across the community.

The workshop gathered 25 participants, including both long-standing members and new contributors, creating a dynamic and engaging environment for exchange. SSbD4CheM colleagues actively participated in the discussions, contributing to reflections on the key highlights and achievements since the previous meeting. The session highlighted the significant progress made across the network, as well as several important milestones reached by participating projects.

A central focus of the workshop was on identifying new opportunities for collaboration. Participants explored upcoming joint actions, including events, publications, and coordinated communication activities designed to maximise outreach and visibility. These exchanges provided valuable insights into how projects like SSbD4CheM can further align efforts with other initiatives in the field and contribute to a stronger, more connected research and innovation landscape.

SSbD4CheM colleagues look forward to building on these discussions and contributing to future joint activities that support the transition towards safe and sustainable chemicals and materials.

A big thank you to the CheMatSustain team for organising this productive exchange, and to all participants for their valuable contributions.

The agenda of the meeting is available here.

SSbD4CheM @ 2nd Collab4Resilience (C&R) meeting

On 25 November 2025, the Collab4Resilience (C&R) network met for its second online networking workshop. 17 participants representing 9 EU-funded projects gather to further build on the KOM from April 2025, and aiming to strengthen collaboration between projects and enhance their visibility and outreach activities.

The meeting was opened by the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences, coordinator of the CheMatSustain project and leader of the initiative. They provided a brief overview of the network’s progress to date and recent developments within CheMatSustain. This was followed by a short presentation from the University of Bologna introducing the CheMatSustain Facility, the project’s key output, launched in 2025.

One of the highlights of the meeting was the “What We’re Proud Of” round, during which each project highlighted recent developments and achievements. Afterthat, we dive into a more interactive session with a digital mural to gather ideas for future communication activities—ranging from social media initiatives to joint events—as well as a knowledge-sharing activity to identify tangible collaboration opportunities.

The workshop concluded with a forward-looking discussion on plans for 2026, setting out practical next steps to strengthen communication, share resources, and foster mutual support.

Overall, the event demonstrated strong interest in further developing the community.
