SmartMultiDress aims to develop an innovative dressing for the treatment of burns. This dressing is based on a multifunctional composite that combines antibacterial properties activated by visible light, a non-stick surface and a non-toxic composition that does not contribute to the development of bacterial resistance.

Applicability of the Safe by Design (SSbD) framework to the development and implementation of safer and more sustainable alternatives to surfactants, plasticisers and flame retardants, which are present in everyday products and pose a high risk to human health and the environment and are therefore considered as Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC).

SeaBioMat investigates bio-based and/or biodegradable materials that can be used to partially replace current nets and cages used in active and passive fisheries.

The challenge of this project is to reduce the number of in vivo tests by designing an innovative microfluidic platform for the development and evaluation of medical devices for tissue reconstruction.

With energy efficiency now a global priority, the building of the future must be designed with sustainable development and recycling in mind.
