Project description
A closer look at electronics going green
Eco-friendly materials are becoming increasingly popular, especially in the production of green electronics devices, which have found applications in a variety of fields. Due to their eco-friendly characteristics, green electronics devices also represent ideal candidates to replace invasive and painful methods in conventional medicine. The EU-funded GREENELIT project will increase the research and innovation capabilities of the University of Novi Sad (UNS) in Serbia by introducing twinning actions among internationally leading EU research institutions, Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) and Technical University of Denmark (DTU). The project will reduce the gaps and deficiencies between the UNS and its EU research counterparts and improve RDI capacity and staff research profiles in the field of green electronics. It will strive for excellence based on the transfer of knowledge and expertise, increased research capability and improved research management and administration at the UNS.
Objective
"This project proposal aims at significantly strengthening research and innovation capacities of the University of Novi Sad (UNS), Serbia in the emerging field of Green Electronics by twinning action with EU internationally-leading research institutions – Italian Institute of Technology (IIT), Italy and Technical University of Denmark (DTU), Denmark. Through this project, networking gaps and deficiencies between the UNS and EU leaders will be decreased as well as RDI capacity of the involved institutions will be enhanced and staff’s research profile will be improved. Green Electronics or Food-based electronics or electronic devices which can be consumed through the digestive system, provides solution for continuous monitoring of physiological parameters of the human body and represents alternative for invasive and painful approaches in conventional medicine. The GREENELIT work program envisages: (1) Sustainable linking for excellence - through transfer of knowledge and expertise during secondments, best practices will circulate between UNS and EU leading research institutions (IIT and DTU); (2) Raise research profile of the UNS and its staff - through delivering lectures by experts, short-term on-site training, organization of workshop/conference and strengthening the research management and administration unit at UNS; (3) Scientific strategy for stepping up in the field of Green Electronics - through benchmarking analysis and creating the Strategy and Action plan for its implementation; (4) Involvement of early stage researchers - focused on promotion of involvement of ESRs at UNS and improvement prospects of their career through training, mentoring and networking measures; (5) Dissemination and outreach activities - aimed to present the GREENELIT achievements to a wider community. This project will significantly support the UNS on the route to be a dynamic ""innovation engine"" capable of sustaining regional and national scientific, economic and social growth."
