Dear Colleagues,
In the scope of the SUPRALIFE Twinning Horizon Europe project, we will be organizing a series of training activities and events on a yearly basis aimed at developing supramolecular multicomponent biomaterials for enabling advanced biomaterials for healthcare.
The SUPRALIFE First School will be the very first event organized by the COMPASS Research Group at the University of Aveiro (UAVR; Coordinator) in close collaboration with the consortium partners Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), the University of Bordeaux (UBx) and its affiliated entities Polytechnic Institute of Bordeaux (Bordeaux INP) and French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS).
The First School will be held in the pleasant and beautiful city of Aveiro, Portugal, from 19-24 March 2023 and will be split in two parts:
(i) a scientific program from 19-21 March which aims at teaching fundamental-to-advanced concepts to students and researchers with backgrounds in chemistry, biochemistry, (bio)materials science, biomedical engineering, bioengineering and biology on the rational design, synthesis, development and advanced characterization of functional supramolecular polymeric biomaterials for biomedicine.
The scientific program will consist of plenary/tutorial lectures by world-leading experts in the supramolecular biomaterials’ chemistry field who will share their extensive experience and expertise and present a comprehensive overview of the research activities headed by their own research groups and in collaboration with other research groups, industry or clinical practitioners.
(ii) a soft transferable skills’ training program from 22-24 March which aims to advance the professional development and widen the career perspectives of students and researchers, irrespectively of their background and area of specialization, to outperform in their professional duties and career paths. The training sessions will include the following topics: science communication, grant writing, scientific writing and publishing, and career development.
The participants will have the unique opportunity for interacting closely and exchanging ideas and experiences with the invited speakers and networking with peers in an informal and relaxed environment.
We cordially invite you to attend this stimulating event and look forward to meeting you soon in Aveiro!
