Project description DEENESFRITPL Bringing together nanomaterials and biomedicine in Moldova The advancement of nanotechnologies has forever changed the diagnosis and therapeutics in many aspects of today’s medicine. With this in mind, the EU-funded NanoMedTwin project will implement a collaborative strategic partnership programme with leading centres in Europe to increase the scientific excellence of the National Center for Materials Study and Testing (NCMST) of the Technical University of Moldova. NanoMedTwin will establish a nano-biomedicine programme and perform actions, to train a new generation of researchers. The project will integrate the principles of nanotechnology, nanomaterials, and biomedicine in research and coursework. NanoMedTwin will also develop a strategic research program focusing on nanomaterials for biomedical applications at NCMST and extend collaborative networking and creation of capacities for broader participation of NCMST in EU funding programmes. Show the project objective Hide the project objective Objective The main objective of the project is to promote the Smart Specialization Strategy in Moldova through developing the field of nanomaterials for biomedical applications by enhancing the scientific excellence of the National Center for Materials Study and Testing (NCMST) of the Technical University of Moldova via a collaborative strategic partnership program with European leading centres.This will be achieved through:• Promoting links between the NANO and BioMedicine fields. (WP2)• Training of a new generation of highly-skilled researchers capable of developing these fields and creating a leading national infrastructure at NCMST. (WP3, WP5)• Developing a strategic research program focusing on nanomaterials for biomedical applications at NCMST including aspects related to technology transfer. (WP4)• Extending collaborative networking and creation of capacities for broader participation of NCMST in Horizon-2020 and FP9 Programs. (WP6)The promotion of links between the fields of nanomaterials and biomedicine will be performed through an intense exchange of knowledge and experience with partners on both bilateral and multilateral levels, accomplished by expert staff and student visits. The training of a new generation of researchers will be performed through establishment of a nano-biomedicine training program to integrate the principles of nanotechnology, nanomaterials and biomedicine in research and coursework, and will be implemented by actions such as: (i) Moldavian students attending specific modules of Master programs at the partner institutions; (ii) two summer schools; (iii) theoretical and practical courses at NCMST for Ph.D. students and young researchers.The project will also target the development of skills for management of innovation activities from the laboratory discovery phase to the point of technology transfer to medical institutions. This will be accomplished by means of transfer of practices and policies from the partner institutions to NCMST.
