Assessment of risk in the field of nanotechnology requires an integrated multidisciplinary approach due to the complex and cross-disciplinary framework for materials and activities at the nanoscale. The present paper summarizes the workshop "Governance of emerging nano-risk in the semiconductor industry" held on April 26, 2018 in Brussels, Belgium. The event targeted representatives of stakeholder communities involved in the risk assessment and governance of the engineered nanomaterials. Nanoelectronics was selected as an impactful use case for risk assessment approaches and comparison to bottom-up nanofabrication. The workshop outlined key data gaps impeding successful assessment of risks associated with nanoparticle use in the industry, using the semiconductor industry as an example. The workshop outlined mitigation strategies informing future regulatory decisions and identified some directions for future efforts.
评估纳米技术领域的风险需要采用综合的多学科方法，因为纳米尺度的材料和活动具有复杂的跨学科框架。本文总结了 2018 年 4 月 26 日在比利时布鲁塞尔举行的“半导体行业新兴纳米风险治理”研讨会。该活动的目标是参与工程纳米材料风险评估和治理的利益相关者社区的代表。纳米电子学被选为风险评估方法和与自下而上的纳米制造进行比较的有影响力的用例。该研讨会概述了使用半导体行业作为示例，阻碍成功评估与纳米颗粒在行业中的使用相关的风险的关键数据差距。该研讨会概述了减轻策略，为未来的监管决策提供信息，并确定了未来努力的一些方向。
