ITENE

Packaging, Transport & Logistics Research Center

ITENE is the specialist research centre in R&D in packaging and logistics. Founded in 1994, ITENE generates scientific and technological knowledge and added value to companies through the implementation of research and innovation projects. The centre has a multidisciplinary team of researchers and technicians, and is located in Valencia (Spain), in a 7,000 square meter building. Half of the space is dedicated to laboratories and pilot plants equipped with the latest technology for research and testing activities.

ITENE’s nanosafety research group has wide experience in projects related to the risk assessment and management of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs). Besides, ITENE supports the engagement of industrial actors and public bodies from Spain. Moreover, the nanosafety research group participates in the most important network of scientists involved in the evaluation of the risks posed by the use of emerging chemicals, including the European NanoSafety Cluster and the Communities of Research in Nanosafety (CoRs) working groups.
