The final conference of the FreeMe Project will be hosted by MDPI with the support of EXELISIS, in Athens, Greece, at 20-22 April, 2026.

The workshop will focus on how Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD) is applied in practice, bringing together perspectives from industry, research community, and policy makers. Through engaging talks, real-world examples, and interactive roundtable discussions, the workshop will explore policy drivers, industrial experiences, barriers and pathways for translating SSbD innovations into market-ready solutions.

09:00 – 13:00 | 20 April 2026, ZEUS Wyndham Grand Athens, Meg. Alexandrou 2, Athina 104 37
