CAAT Johns Hopkins University Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing
CAAT-EU Housed at the University of Konstanz, coordinates transatlantic activities to promote education in humane science and will participate in and/or coordinate publicly and privately funded projects
CleanAir CleanAir network competencies and promote technologies to improve air quality.
C3-Projekt Within carbon concrete composite project the innovative construction material carbon-concrete is being investigated under various considerations. VITROCELL® is part of group “health, occupational safety and environment” to investigate influence towards health of carbon concrete. VITROCELL® develops an Abrasive Dust Generator and an Automated Exposure Station with integrated dosimetry tools for the project.

ITC & ITG At Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) the Institute for Technical Chemistry (ITC) and the Institute of Toxicology and Genetics (ITG) are collaborating together to investigate the impact of aerosols (combustion derived aerosols, nanoparticles) to cell cultures exposed at the air-liquid interface.
NanoMILE Project VITROCELL® is partner of this prestigious EU funded project. Engineered nanomaterial mechanisms of interactions with living systems and the environment: a universal framework for safe nanotechnology
Nano Safety Cluster The Cluster is an initiative of the European Commission Directorate-General for Research and Innovation (DG RTD) to maximize collaboration, outcome and impact of projects within the cluster.
ProCycle ProCycle is analyzing and evaluating the toxicological potential of aerosols derived from recycling process of nanocomposites. The toxicological evaluation is performed at air liquid interface with special designed Automated Exposure Station for the needs within this project.
SmartNanoTox Nanomaterials, with their own particle properties and activities, are examined in scope of the European Union financed SmartNanoTox project. In-depth research on the effect of nanoparticles in aerosols is made possible by modern and advanced approaches – e.g. VITROCELL® manufactured devices. SmartNanoTox Video
