Turning computational predictions into a practical workflow for safer chemical design Computational models can predict many properties relevant to chemical safety long before extensive experimental data become available. But having a prediction is not the same as knowing whether it
On 3–4 November 2026, the PINK project, BIO-SUSHY project and the NanoSafety Community (NSC) will jointly organise a Workshop on SSbD Project Legacy in Brussels, bringing together representatives of Horizon Europe projects working on SSbD and closely related advanced materials
How strongly a drug binds to its biological target, and precisely which molecular interactions stabilise this binding, can be decisive for its therapeutic activity and unwanted side effects. Computational modelling increasingly allows researchers to investigate these mechanisms at an atomistic
PINK is pleased to welcome three new demonstrator partners: Leartiker, NCC and Valeo Electrification. Representing complementary positions along the innovation value chain, they will play a key role in validating PINK’s methodologies and digital solutions under real industrial conditions. Leartiker
During the past months, the PINK partners have actively disseminated their ambitious research and emerging results through posters, oral presentations and panel discussions at numerous scientific and stakeholder events. PINK @ … … “ANTHOS’26 – Advanced (Nano)Materials and Technologies: From Needs
The properties of advanced materials emerge across very different length scales. Electronic interactions and atomic arrangements determine fundamental properties, while structures at the nano-, meso- and microscale influence how a material ultimately behaves at the macroscopic level. Connecting these scales
SINTEF Ocean conducts research and innovation related to the ocean space for national and international industries. Its work supports sustainable use of the ocean across core ocean-based sectors, including transport, food and energy production, while drawing on strong competence in
From 1 to 3 June 2026, representatives of the PINK project participated in the DPP4EU Conference in Brussels, bringing together researchers, industry representatives, policymakers, and digital innovators working on the implementation of Digital Product Passports (DPPs). The conference focused on
Thomas E. Exner from coordinating partner Seven Past Nine wrote an article for the Online Innovation News Network: Thomas Exner (2026), “Digitalising safe-and-sustainable materials innovation”, The Innovation Platform Issue 26, pp.184-187. DOI.org/10.66233/INNP-026-30162. The PINK project is pleased to share that it
Applying SSbD at an early stage of chemical and materials development presents a fundamental methodological problem: decisions should already consider environmental impacts when reliable process and life-cycle data are often still scarce. This challenge is addressed by Gustavo Larrea-Gallegos and
Founded in 1640, University of Helsinki (UH) is an international research community of over 40,000 students and staff, with top research areas in future technologies, sustainable planet, precision health, and learning and evolving societies. Belonging to this community there are
Developing safer and more sustainable nano/advanced materials increasingly depends on data. But having large amounts of data available is not enough: they must also be reliable and understandable to be re-used. This challenge is at the centre of the position
