Data logging templates for the environmental, health and safety assessment of nanomaterials

Data is a critical matter in the nanomaterials scientific community. Indeed, up to now, the recording (logging) of experimental data produced in several projects has been insufficiently harmonised. Data (and knowledge) often remains linked to ad hoc file systems or templates generated for the only project they serve and, mostly, just for its duration. In the recent dialogue within the EU NanoSafey Cluster, it became clear how important the harmonisation of data logging it is to obtain fully exploitable data. This allows, among others, a better sharing, comparability and analysis.
