Abstract

The workshop "Bridging communities in the field of nanomedicine" was hosted by the European Commission Joint Research Centre on 27-28 September 2017. It gathered experts from regulatory bodies, research institutions and industry to discuss the main challenges related to the emerging field of nanomedicine. Regulatory aspects and standardisation needs were discussed. The major criteria and gaps in existing methodologies for the regulatory application were identified. The workshop discussions, documented in this manuscript, helped to formulate critical recommendations for the development of the most needed methods and standards to be addressed e.g. in ongoing Horizon 2020 projects. In addition, individual opinions of experts relevant to progress of the regulatory science in the field of nanomedicine were summarized in the format of a survey.
