WHAT IS SWAP AND TRANSFER (SAT)?
SAT is Erasmus Mundus project funded by the EU Commission and promoted by the University of Trento, Focusing on Sustainable development, Innovation and Technology transfer and aimed at fostering intercontinental cooperation and the mobility between Europe and different countries in Eastern Asia.
WHO ARE THE BENEFICIARIES OF SWAP AND TRANSFER?
The project offers 205 scholarships, assigned upon selection to European candidates to perform study and research activities at one of the partnered universities. Grants addressed to staff and student mobility are differently sized, ranging from 1000 to 2500 Euro/month, to cover students at undergraduate (bachelor), graduate (master) and doctoral level, and staff including postdoc researchers, academic, and staff. Travels, Tuition and insurance fees, centrally managed, are also covered by the programme.
The workshop had objectives to meet and discuss the potential collaboration between two research clusters which each clusters compose of European-Asian research networks; to enhance public awareness in the advance medical technology and biomaterial researches; to encourage and educate young researchers in the related fields and; to promote Chula’s global research network and enhance the opportunities of our graduate students to be recognized and competitive for the Erasmus Mundus Programs.
The workshop was focused on devices/materials fabricated starting from natural resources. In particular, we considered devices/biopolymers close to or already in the market, providing insights on:
A review on nature-derived biopolymers with high potential for biomedical market
How to plan and conduct research that has a stronger potential of translation
Real cases of technologies that succeeded in getting into the clinic (Focused in nature-derived biomaterials)
Lesson Learnt from failure
Regulation and standards
The program on November 2nd, 2015 included opening ceremony, lectures, discussions, and round table network meeting for planning the next collaborations.
On November 3rd, 2015, a post-symposium activity was organized specifically for students and extends the impact and relevance of the event:
The lecture and activities were aimed at encouraging young researchers in Biomedical Technologies and Biomaterials, giving them opportunity to discuss their work.
Research posters (electronic) presentations by students from the clusters and general biomaterial students. Their works were commented by the experts in the cluster. The graphical abstracts will be published in the program book.
Related exhibitions from invited institutes and private sectors were displayed.
