The programme is typically structured into several phases:
Initial Proposal and Selection: Participants submit proposals outlining the nanomaterials they intend to test and the methodologies they will use. These proposals are reviewed and selected based on their relevance and scientific merit. Testing: Selected proposals proceed to the testing phase, where standardized methods are used to evaluate various properties of the nanomaterials, such as particle size, shape, surface area, and reactivity. Data Analysis and Reporting: The collected data is analyzed and compiled into comprehensive reports, which are then shared with all participants and relevant regulatory bodies.
