May 2012 - EcoMundo at the in-cosmetics fair in Barcelona |
From 17 to 19 April 2012, EcoMundo was at In-Cosmetics tradeshow on the In Focus platform dedicated to solar beauty.

Therefore, EcoMundo developed two interactive platforms for the general public :
- A touch screen world map showing international initiatives regarding nanomaterials safety ),
- An animation introducing the guests to the daily use of nanomaterials through examples.
During this tradeshow we were also interviewed and participated in a round table. We have thus introduced important concepts for the sustainable development of nanomaterials.
