The profitability of the production of cosmetic products is closely linked to the volume of outgoing compliant finished products.
In order to qualify and reduce waste, it is essential to carry out systematic quality checks online.
How can we check the tightness of our finished products?
ATEQ, world leader in leak testing for assembly lines, has developed a range of industrial quality control technologies.
Focus on a call for projects launched by the European Commission to finance collaborative innovation in Europe!
Cosmetic Valley has targeted this very relevant call for projects to develop your research and innovation project on the themes of testing, the regulatory framework and the use of chemical products.
Name of the call for projects : HORIZON-HLTH-2024-IND-06-09: Gaining experience and confidence in New Approach Methodologies (NAM) for regulatory safety and efficacy testing – coordinated training and experience exchange for regulators (CSA)
Filing : April 11, 2024
Budget : €2M - Funding rate: 100%
Proposals should focus on alternatives to the use of animals for regulatory testing of safety and effectiveness. Applicants should propose activities that bring together developers and users of New Methodological Approaches with European regulators responsible for the safe use of chemicals (e.g. industrial chemicals, pesticides, biocides and cosmetics ) and pharmaceutical products in order to inform on the solutions available and to encourage the construction of a framework on how these New Methodological Approaches could be used most effectively in different decision-making contexts.
Cosmetic applications are directly targeted by this call.
Are you developing a project on this theme? Are you looking for a financing window to support its development?
Cosmetic Valley supports you in setting up projects: identification of calls for projects / funding windows at national, European and international level and in the search for partners.
