NEW CALL on Open Access to the JRC Nanobiotechnology Laboratory
The European Commission has announced a new call for project proposals to access the JRC Nanobiotechnology Laboratory. Deadline date is 21 May 2024, 23:45 (CEST)
The Nanobiotechnology laboratory features state-of-the-art equipped facilities designed to foster interdisciplinary studies. A special emphasis lies on characterisation of nanomaterials, micro-nanoplastics, nanomedicines, advanced materials and their interactions with biological systems, as well as on the detection, identification and characterisation of nanomaterials in food and consumer products.
In this call
- Priority topics of the Nanobiotechnology laboratory are:
- detection and characterisation of micro(nano)plastics in media contributing to human exposure (such as food, air and water in the domestic water supply chain).
- detection and characterisation of advanced materials such as nanomaterials (including ingredients, additives and supplements in food) within various matrices (e.g. food, food packaging) and their interactions with biological systems.
- characterisation of liposomal based products and m-RNA lipid nanoparticles systems. Bio-macromolecules characterisation and interaction studies. Applications: diagnostics, treatment, detection of diseases and pathogens.
- access costs arewaived
- JRC may cover travel and subsistencecosts for users from institutions located in countries eligible for the Horizon Europe Spreading Excellence and Widening Participation Action => check conditions in the call!
Candidate users can contact JRC-OPEN-NANOBIOTECH@ec.europa.eu to assess feasibility aspects about their project proposals, before the submission.
Deadline for applications is 21 May 2024. Please check the call for further info.
