Description

GRACIOUS is a European H2020 project. The GRACIOUS Framework guides users to conduct grouping and read-across of nanoforms both for regulatory purposes, but also for supporting innovation (safe(r) by design).  Use of the Framework reduces the need to risk assess nanoforms on a case by case basis, and it reduces the need for animal testing.
