3D Printed Fouling-Resistant Photoactive Membranes for Wastewater Treatment (PURAQUA)
European ComissionCoordinator
Today's wastewater treatment process has evolved over many thousands of years, but there is still room for improvement. Modern wastewater treatment plants are not capable of removing substances such as Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria and Antibiotic Resistance Genes from the environment. In this context, the EU-funded project PURAQUA will work to i...3D temperature mapping critical to understanding the nanoworld (ThermoRise)
European ComissionCoordinator
Nanometre-scale devices capable of measuring temperature variations at a molecular level are valuable in both fundamental and applied science. For example, they can quickly measure micromachine overheating or the temperature inside of a cell. Although they hold tremendous promise for many applications, their 2D resolution has been a limiting fac...A ERA dos insectos (InsetcERA ( Investigação industrial e Estudos de viabilidade))
Industry NationalPartner
The InsectERA Agenda aims to foster the circular economy and leverage the development of new products, processes and services, based on R&D and innovation, with high added value and incorporation of knowledge and technology, allowing to meet the challenge of the green transition towards environmental sustainability. The Agenda c...A Pan-European Solid-State NMR Infrastructure for Chemistry-Enabling Access (PANACEA)
European ComissionPartner
The chemicals industry is one of Europe’s largest manufacturing sectors. Its modernisation relies on the capacity for atomic-level investigation of increasingly complex solid substrates in multifaceted research areas. Advances have been made in the development and use of solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, a powe...ABSolEU: closing the loop on ABS plastics recycling (ABSolEU)
European ComissionPartner
At least 85% of end-of-life ABS plastic, found in durable products ranging from toys to automotive components and daily-use items such as shavers, ends up in landfills or being incinerated. The ABSolEU project aims to develop and matur...Activation of solid oxide cell electrodes by electrocatalytic agents for enhanced energy conversion efficiency at reduced temperatures (ACT-SOC)

Additive manufacturing meets mechanobiology – design and fabrication of osteogenic-stimulating implants (ADD2MECHBIO)
Fundação para a Ciência e a TecnologiaPartner
Over the years, the number of patients undergoing total hip and knee arthroplasties has been increasing. Due to the lengthened life expectancy and aging population this trend is expected to continue and the number of patients that will outlive their first prosthesis will also rise (patients that will need revision surgeries). These implants impa...Advancing the Regenerative and Translational Potential of Cellular Fibers (CellFi)

Fundação para a Ciência e a TecnologiaCoordinator
Sensors and actuators that are based on biocompatible piezoelectric materials have a great future. These biodevices can be safely integrated with biological systems for applications such as sensing biological forces, stimulating tissue growth and healing, as well as diagnosing medical problems. The main objective of the project is relat...Bioeconomia para Têxtil e Vestuário (BE@T)
Industry NationalPartner
Apoiada pelo Plano de Recuperação e Resiliência (PRR), a indústria têxtil nacional vai investir 138 milhões de euros na bioeconomia sustentável, procurando a mudança de paradigma para o setor e a criação de produtos de alto valor acrescentado a partir de recursos biológicos, em alternativa às matérias de origem fóssil.Liderado pelo CITEVE (Centr...Bioinspired tile-matching to create ultrastructured bone microtissues in a close-to-native fashion (TETRISSUE)
Fundação para a Ciência e a TecnologiaCoordinator
The driving force behind TETRISSUE is inspired in the fundamentals of the native bone regenerative process and supported by a strong technological character to produce highly vascularized ultrastructured bone replacements. Its innovative character is mainly related with the integration of key elements working in tandem: (1) bioinstructive microp...Blue-biorefinery of macroalgae - improved aquaculture practices and green and innovative extraction methodologies for the production of high-value compounds (ALGREEN)
Fundação para a Ciência e a TecnologiaCoordinator
There is an increasing trend for revisiting natural sources towards the discovery of bioactive components [1] within the blue-economy, circular economy andbiorefinery concepts. Marine organisms are seen as a promising, almost unlimited source of bioactive and quite exclusive compounds. Algae, and particularlymacroalgae or seaweeds (~10000 specie...CICECO - Aveiro Institute of Materials (UIDP/50011/2020)
