Workshop MicSeaOnMed and Final Achilles Conference
To: 2022-05-27
Workshop MicSeaOnMed
24 May 2022
In a joint effort with the MIcSeaOnMed initiative, co-funded by Funds for Bilateral Relations from EEA Grants, the event will comprise a workshop entitled “Blue Biotechnology: from the academy to the entrepreneur sector”. This workshop will count with the participation of experts on valorization of marine biological resources, marine origin materials, natural products and biomimetics, to present examples of the contributes of marine (blue) biotechnology to the advancements of TERM.
Final Achilles Conference
“Tendon Regeneration: a throwback to the lessons learned and prospects to the future in tendon regeneration”
Centro Cultural Vila Flor, Guimarães, Portugal
25 | 27 May 2022
The 3B´s Research Group – Biomaterials, Biodegradables & Biomimetics from University of Minho, Portugal, www.3bs.uminho.pt) is coordinating a TWINNING H2020 European project (ACHILLES: http://achilles.i3bs.eu) focused on overcoming specific weaknesses in tendon biology to advance the design of advanced regenerative therapies. In the framework of this project, we have organized a series of three international conferences/workshops, in the recent years, with outstanding feedback from the participants.
The Final Achilles Conference will focus on recent findings and advances and prospects to the future in tendon regeneration will take place in Guimarães, Portugal, from the 25th to the 27th of May 2022. The conference will be held back to back with the TERM-STEM Conference, organized in a yearly basis by the 3B’s Research Group, that is scheduled for the 23rd to the 25th of May, this year focusing on "Increasing complexity TERM - From cells to tissues".
The Final Achilles Conference will also wrap up the key results and activities implemented during the project, including oral and poster presentations, networking sessions and round table discussions. The event is organized for students, young researchers, and leading international experts interested in key aspects of tendon biology and recent therapies for tendon injuries treatment.
The Final Achilles Conference is being planned to be held as a in person event following all the recommendations and guidelines from the National and European Health authorities, enabling the safe exchange of ideas and scientific results.
