RIZZI P. - BIOREMIA - BIOfilm-REsistant Materials for hard tissue Implant Applications - Grant n.861046 - CDD: 9/12/2019
Progetto BIOREMIA will recruit 15 doctoral students (ESRs) and offer them a highly inter-disciplinary
joint research & training programme focused on the key issues that determine the future antibacterial
biomaterials and technologies for orthopaedic and dental applications. BIOREMIA links 7 academic and 4
non-academic beneficiaries as well as 6 partners from 11 European countries (Germany, Austria, Greece, Sweden,
UK, Spain, Italy, France, Switzerland, Ireland and the Netherlands) and the USA. The ESRs will be supervised
and trained by world-class academic and industrial organisations, combining technical knowledge with hands-on
training in state-of-the-art research projects. The BIOREMIA training program will include face-to-face and online
scientific courses in biomaterials & surface engineering, implant manufacturing, biotechnology, biochemistry,
microbiology and biofilm. This will be complemented by education in transferable skills such as
entrepreneurship, management, IPR, communication etc. useful for getting an innovation-oriented mind-set of
young researchers. Participating in BIOREMIA will make PhD students highly attractive for employers and open
up doors for their successful careers in research, regulation, consulting, industry and healthcare system. The strong
involvement of the industrial sector will provide the ESRs with a holistic perspective on career opportunities.
