Core elements <strong>of</strong> the dissemination strategy are<br />

(i) The public NanoLyse website (www.NanoLyse.eu)<br />

The website is a main portal for the dissemination <strong>of</strong> the results<br />

dedicated to general public, <strong>of</strong>ficial authorities, food <strong>and</strong> feed<br />

sectors <strong>and</strong> scientists.<br />

(ii) The e-Newsletter<br />

Bi-annual e-newsletter is distributed actively to stakeholders <strong>and</strong><br />

other interested parties. The newsletter informs on the scientific<br />

progress in the analysis <strong>of</strong> engineered nanoparticles in food <strong>and</strong><br />

beverages within NanoLyse, as well as on upcoming <strong>events</strong><br />

relevant for this field.<br />

(iii) Presentation <strong>of</strong> results<br />

The scientific outcome <strong>of</strong> the project will be published in peer<br />

reviewed international journals <strong>and</strong> presented at international<br />

scientific conferences, after careful consideration <strong>of</strong> IPR issues. In<br />

addition, two “NanoLyse Open Days” are organised to present the<br />

approach <strong>and</strong> the outcome <strong>of</strong> the project to a wider public,<br />

focusing on potential stakeholders <strong>of</strong> the developed methods.<br />

(iv) Training workshops<br />

will be organised at the end <strong>of</strong> the project. Goal <strong>of</strong> these h<strong>and</strong>s-on<br />

workshops will be the technology transfer <strong>of</strong> the developed tools<br />

to laboratories which have or will have the need to analyse food<br />

<strong>and</strong> beverages for presence <strong>and</strong> levels <strong>of</strong> engineered<br />

nanoparticles. In the first place laboratories involved in the risk<br />

assessment <strong>and</strong> in the (future) monitoring <strong>of</strong> food for engineered<br />

nanoparticles will be addressed, but interested parties from food<br />

industry <strong>and</strong> private contract food laboratories will also be invited.<br />

5.2 Open days<br />

The first NanoLyse Open Day had been organised on the 2 nd<br />

November 2011, during the 5 th International Symposium on Recent<br />

Advances in Food Analysis (RAFA 2011), held from the 1 st to the 4 th<br />

November 2011 in Prague, Czech Republic.<br />

The Open day was attended by more than 50 participants from<br />

various countries <strong>and</strong> different sectors as well as from national <strong>and</strong><br />

European authorities. They actively engaged in discussions with<br />

the present NanoLyse scientists. The level <strong>of</strong> interaction was<br />

remarkably high <strong>and</strong> there was an intense exchange not only on<br />

the presented goals <strong>and</strong> results <strong>of</strong> the project, but also about<br />

future needs <strong>and</strong> possible collaborations.<br />

5.3 Training workshops<br />

Training workshops are scheduled for the second half <strong>of</strong> 2013 for<br />

the technology transfer <strong>of</strong> the developed methods to potential<br />

end-users <strong>of</strong> the new methods for the analysis <strong>of</strong> engineered<br />

nanoparticles in food <strong>and</strong> other complex matrices.<br />
