The European Commission has published a call for proposals entitled 'NMP - Coordinated Call EU - China 2013'. It is part of the latest set of calls published under the EU's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7). Research proposals should address novel methods for medical imaging and customised scaffolds for tissue regeneration or repair. With EUR 5 million of EC funding and an equivalent budget from the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), the call targets a balanced cooperation between European and Chinese organisations with equal research effort on both sides. Conventional scaffold techniques make it difficult to control all structural properties and they need to be shaped with custom-made moulds. The introduction of rapid prototyping or solid freeform fabrication (SFF) would allow for higher degree of architectural control, making possible, for instance, an increase in the mass transport of oxygen and nutrients throughout the scaffold or a mimic of biological structures.To see the official call announcement, please consult: Participant portal To see partnership requests for this call, please consult: CORDIS Partners Service
