Dear Colleagues,
We are very pleased to welcome you to the SUPRALIFE Third School which will be 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 SUPRALIFE Third School will be held in the pleasant and beautiful city of Aveiro, Portugal, from 9-14 March 2025 and the program will be split in two parts:
(i) a scientific program from 9-11 March which aims at teaching fundamental-to-advanced concepts to students and researchers with backgrounds in chemistry, biochemistry, (bio)materials science, biomedical engineering, bioengineering, biotechnology and biology on the molecular design, synthesis, development and advanced characterization of supramolecular and macromolecular multifunctional biomaterials and systems for biomedical applications and healthcare.
The scientific program will consist of plenary/tutorial lectures by world-leading experts in the supramolecular and biomaterials’ chemistry fields 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.
The program will also include oral and poster presentations selected from contributed abstracts submitted by participants in fields that include the topics of dynamic, adaptive, self-healing and injectable polymeric hydrogels, (multi)stimuli-responsive soft biomaterials, 3D and 4D (bio)printed multifunctional (bio)materials, multiscale/hierarchical biomaterials, bioinstructive surfaces and structures, biomimetic and bioinspired supramolecular structures and molecular systems, and their use in nanomedicine, drug/therapeutics delivery, biosensing, tissue engineering or regenerative medicine.
(ii) a soft transferable skills’ training program from 12-14 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 topics to be covered in the soft skills program will be announced soon.
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!
