Engineered nanoparticles are materials which are produced purposefully by human activity and are less than 100 nm (10-7 m) in size, although they can have any chemical composition. Worldwide, there is a huge research and development investment in these materials and companies involved in their use and production have a turnover of billions of pounds in total. They are being used in a variety of products such as cosmetics, weather proofing, computers and remediation of contaminated land. Great concern is being shown over their potential human and environmental health effects although our knowledge is very limited. This project will allow the formation of a network of people and institutions with relevant expertise and knowlegde to disseminate and transfer current knowledge and best practice between academia, regulatory agencies and industry and between experts and early stage researchers and to identify current and future research needs and facilitate future interdisciplinary research.

工程纳米粒子是由人类活动有目的地产生的材料，尺寸小于100 nm（10-7 m），尽管它们可以具有任何化学成分。在世界范围内，对这些材料进行了巨大的研究和开发投资，参与其使用和生产的公司总营业额达数十亿英镑。它们被用于各种产品，如化妆品、防风雨、计算机和污染土地的修复。尽管我们的知识非常有限，但人们对它们对人类和环境健康的潜在影响表示极大关注。该项目将有助于形成一个由具有相关专门知识和知识的人员和机构组成的网络，以便在学术界、监管机构和工业界之间以及在专家和早期研究人员之间传播和转让现有知识和最佳做法，并确定当前和未来的研究需求，促进未来的跨学科研究。
