EU projects Workshop (RELIANCE, NOVA, and NANOBLOC):  Next-Gen Nanocoatings: Accelerating Antimicrobial Innovation with Modeling & AI

Organisers: EU-funded Projects RELIANCE, NOVA, and NANOBLOC

Join us for a full-day workshop at Smart Materials and Surfaces 2025, where we dive into the next generation of antimicrobial nanocoatings. Organized by three leading EU-funded projects, this session will spotlight how modeling, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD) principles are reshaping the innovation landscape—from fundamental research to real-world industrial deployment.

Workshop highlights:

  • Project overviews from RELIANCE, NOVA, and NANOBLOC
  • Technical deep-dives into modeling and AI methodologies
  • Integration of SSbD frameworks in nanocoating development
  • Case studies and practical examples from industry applications

This is a unique opportunity to explore how digital tools and advanced materials science are coming together to tackle urgent antimicrobial challenges.
