Subcommittee of the Committee on Technology, National Science and 
Technology Council (NSTC) and in collaboration with the European 
Commission, will hold the 2015 ``EU-U.S.: Bridging NanoEHS Research 
Efforts'' joint workshop on March 12-13, 2015, in Venice, Italy. The 
workshop will bring together the U.S.-EU Communities of Research

Characterization.
    <bullet> Predictive Modeling for Human Health, with Material 
Characterization.
    <bullet> Databases and Ontologies.
    <bullet> Risk Assessment.
    <bullet> Risk Management and Control.
