O SUM EPOCH é um projeto interdisciplinar focado em métodos alternativos de sinterização energeticamente eficientes de cerâmicas termoelétricas do tipo n, que podem ser desafiantes, mas muito promissores na linha de investigação em energia e sustentabilidade dos laboratórios CICECO e TEMA da Universidade de Aveiro, se projetados usando fatores s...Exploring devitalized MSCs fibres as immunomodulatory devices for wound regeneration through (i) direct promotion of healing or (ii) enabling of allograft transplantation free of systemic immunosuppression (LAZARUS)
Other InternationalCoordinator
The project aims at exploring MSCs as constituents of off-the-shelf easy-to-handle immunomodulatory biomaterials. The project focuses on using these materials to treat difficult-to-heal wounds, which may be chronic, or have proneness to become chronic if not properly treated.Two treatment approaches will be explored using devitalized MS...Free cooling Optimized Cabinet Operation (FOCO)

From Fossil To Forest (FF2F (Paper with barrier properties))
Industry NationalPartner
This Innovation Pact is aimed at developing cellulose-based packaging and products to replace fossil-based plastics. In this context, it comprises the following six work packages: (1) high yield pulp and brown paper; (2) paper with increased mechanical strength; (3) paper with barrier properties; (4) biocomposites; (5) paper sensors for...Full human-based multi-scale constructs with jammed regenerative pockets for bone engineering (REBORN)
European ComissionCoordinator
Engineered bone tissue has many advantages over natural bone grafts, including safety and limitless supply. However, current engineering methods cannot generate large vascularised grafts capable of in vivo integration and remodelling. To address this problem, the EU-funded REBORN project proposes to combine biomaterials based on proteins obtaine...Funcionalização in situ de elétrodos em eletrolisadores industriais para produção de hidrogénio verde (HYDROWIN)
Other NationalCoordinator
O HydroWIN surge no âmbito da produção de hidrogénio verde através da eletrólise alcalina da água pela funcionalização in situ de elétrodos, de forma a reforçar a economia de hidrogénio, que se encontra, ainda, em fase inicial em Portugal. A produção de H2 verde irá desempenhar um papel crucial na Região Centro de Portugal continental nos próxim...GRAIN BOUNDARY ENGINEERING INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR IMPROVED IONIC TRANSPORT IN CERAMIC INTERFACES (GENIC)
Fundação para a Ciência e a TecnologiaCoordinator
The rise in global demand for energy is becoming increasingly unsustainable for the environment. Technological solutions to efficiently manage and convert energy are pursued to address this issue. Solid Oxide Cells (SOCs) are one such solution, offering the ability to convert chemical energy from various fuel gases (Solid Oxide Fuel Cells &n...Green Plastic recycling: Additives removal THrough renewable solvents to enhancing the enzymatic depolymerization (GreenPATH)
Fundação para a Ciência e a TecnologiaCoordinator
GreenPATH aims to develop a sustainable pretreatment process that combines high-pressure solid-liquid extraction (HP-SLE) with low-cost, renewable solvents, namely biosolvents and deep eutectic solvents (DES), to extract the additives in a key step prior to enzymatic depolymerization. The focus of this initiative is on the removal of organic and...GREEN-X: Advancing Sustainable Polymer Innovation through Circular Feedstocks, Greener Materials, and Industrial Collaboration (GREEN-X)
European ComissionCoordinator
Plastics and coatings rely on fossil-based resources. At the same time, industries are under pressure to cut waste and recycle more effectively. Supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the GREEN-X project brings together top universities and companies to create greener pathways in polymer chemistry. Their aim is to convert alt...High-Performance Ceramic Boards, Sustainably Crafted (CERBOARD)

This research proposal aims to engineer and validate, for the first time, a simple, sustainable, and highly translational methodology for obtaining extracellular matrix-rich tissue-specific bioinks. Patient's own cells will be the main building blocks for the development of realistic microtissues, which will be used to engineer a h...Hydrogen production via formic acid decomposition using MXenes (HydroForMX)
Fundação para a Ciência e a TecnologiaCoordinator
To combat global warming and consequent climate changes, there is an urgent need for nearly carbon-neutral forms of energy production and storage. The hydrogen (H2) economy is very promising and is expected to dominate energy systems soon. Formic acid (HCOOH) is a renewable, non flammable and non toxic H2 carrier with high volumetric ca...Hydrophobic Eutectic Solvents for Tailored Metal Separation and Recycling (DESignSX)
European ComissionCoordinator
Sustainable metallurgy is environmentally sound and allows reclaiming metal value from end-of-life devices, thereby closing the resource loop. However, the separation of lanthanides (Ln) poses challenges due to their subtle property variations, which affect their recycling economics despite growing demand. In this context, the ERC-funded DESignS...ILIMITED first-ever Ionic LIquid sorbent Methanol synthesis In order To Enable over 80% yielD (ILIMITED)
European ComissionPartner
CO2 emissions remain a challenge, particularly from decentralised sources like wastewater treatment plants. In this context, the EU-funded ILIMITED project aims to tackle this issue by introducing a groundbreaking method for converting CO2 into methanol, an energy-dense fuel. Utilising ionic liquid sorbents, ILIMITED’s system achieves over 80 % ...Iluminação inteligente centrada no ser humano e comunicações através da Internet das coisas (SLICIoT)
