3D bioprinting construct for the diminishing of bone tumor and progression of bone tissue regeneration: Diagnosis of phenotyping in the cellular model and screening as a therapeutic platform (TissueEng)
European ComissionCoordinator
Bone tissue engineering offers a promising solution for restoring damaged bone tissue. However, current methods face limitations in creating disease models for identifying target genes in tumour recurrence, which hinders the development of preclinical strategies. In this context, the EU-funded TissueEng project aims to use 3D bioprinting to deve...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 bioprinting platform for the rapid, reliable, controlled and quantifiable patterning of cellular aggregatesand microtissues into macroscale regenerative grafts with programmable architectures (m2M)
European ComissionPartner
A fundamental limitation with current approaches aiming to bioprint tissues and organs is an inability to generate constructs with truly biomimetic composition and structure, resulting in the development of engineered tissues that cannot execute their specific function in vivo. This is perhaps unsurprising, as many tissues and organs co...A ERA dos insectos (InsetcERA ( Investigação industrial e Estudos de viabilidade))

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...Accelerate the design and Insertion of nonCRM hard Materials for Next generation EXTreme applications (AIM-NEXT)
European ComissionPartner
The AIM-NEXT project arises from the common need of European academy and industry to educate and train the next generation of experts in the field of “Sustainable design of material solutions for engineering applications”. In this regard, the need to Accelerate the design and Insertion of hard Material tools and comp...Alternative routes for basic chemicals production using hydrogen as feedstock (ALCHEMHY )
European ComissionPartner
ALCHEMHY aims to develop a set of innovative electrified processes to produce platform chemicals, particularly ammonia, i.e., a Magnetic-Heated Sorption-Enhanced Reactor (MSER) and Direct ElectroSynthesis of Ammonia (DESA); and methanol, i.e., a Small-Flexible Methanol Reactor (SFMR) and a Plasma-Catalytic Hydrogenation process (PCH). T...Alternative SuperConducting Superlattice (SuperSuper)
Fundação para a Ciência e a TecnologiaPartner
Moiré materials have emerged as a two-dimensional platform with a broad range of states between superconducting and insulating. Despite the remarkable scientific progress, an important bottleneck is the lack of a general and facile approach for the production of moiré materials. SuperSuper is targeted at developing a disruptive straightforward b...AM2R - Agenda Mobilizadora para a inovação empresarial do setor das Duas Rodas (AM2R (Novas ferramentas de metal duro aplicadas à indústria de duas rodas))

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...Building knowledge and tools for the sustainable microbial fighting through sensing and responsive polysaccharide-based materials (NET4MAT)
European ComissionCoordinator
The worldwide pollution triggered by non-biodegradable plastics requires alternative sustainable/eco-friendly materials for all applications. On the other hand, pathogenic microbial resistance is demanding the development of materials that accurately detect and actuate against pathogenic microorganisms. To exploit an approach that answe...Catalisadores RISS não convencionais para produção de Hidrogénio e outros compostos de base biológica (H2biocat)
