Workshop
Young Researchers´School: Tutorial on Scientific Writing and the Editorial Process
Coordinator: Prof. Dr. Valtencir Zucolotto, IFSC / USP
The " Young Researchers´School " aims to develop / improve / strengthen the
skills necessary for researchers to do High Impact science, upon knowing the state of
the art in specific areas. The School will be offered to under and Graduate students
and post-docs.
It is hoped that researchers can optimize their potential in doing research, with regard to:
1) Development of national and international research projects with bold objectives,
and implementation of high-level scientific research. Such an approach is essential to
promote significant advances at the frontier of knowledge of each area.
2) Production of international scientific articles, through appropriate and efficient
writing.
As a result, we expect to collaborate with the formation of high-level
researchers, trained to recognize and act on the
state-of-the-art in their fields, in a way
to generate relevant knowledge and innovation for society.

Symposium A
Nanotoxicology and Nanoregulation: the safe use of manufactured nanomaterials
Scope of the Symposium
Nanotechnology is a strategic industrial and economic sector showing enormous potential benefits for many societal and environmental domains. Human exposure to manufactured nanomaterials present in consumer products may occur during several phases of their life, which creates a growing interest on how nanoparticles interact with living systems, but some points related to this topic remain a challenge. Innumerous studies are going on to elucidate the mechanisms involved in the interactions of nanoparticles with biological samples. The lack of scientific knowledge and the absence of evidence demonstrating the safety of some nanomaterials make regulation a challenge. Various agencies around the world, are providing specific regulatory guidelines for such materials before their commercialization. In this context, toxicology studies are providing information to guide regulatory decisions toward developing a safety regulatory network to enable the marketing of products before commercialization.
This symposium will discuss the toxicologic aspects of nanomaterials, a topic which is increasing over the world, and has been covered by international conferences. Moreover, it will be the opportunity to present the updates of the international agreement NanoReg between Brazil and EU for the standardization of production and safe use of nanomaterials. The symposium welcomes all researchers in the field of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology that is interesting in the toxicology field. Brazilian and Europeans researchers, in particular, are invited to participate in the symposium as a way of identifying partners and potential collaborative projects between Brazil and EU, following the collaborative research program launched in 2014 by Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation of Brazil (MCTI) and Inmetro. The symposium will create opportunities for participants to present and share experiences, explore new directions and debate topics with experts from across the globe in the field of nanotoxicology.
We believe the symposium can still attract researchers from the Nanotoxicology networks supported by CNPq in Brazil, as well as researchers from latin america, USA and EU.
Abstracts will be solicited in (but not limited to) the following areas
- Nanomedicine
- Nanotoxicology
- Ecotoxicology
- Nanomaterials Regulation
- Nanomaterials for Biomedical Applications
