ERC Day at University of Minho | 3B's Research Group
The European Research Council (ERC), created by the European Commission and that attributes the most prestigious scientific projects in Europe, is celebrating its 10th Anniversary. In this context, it is organizing from 13th to 17th of March the “ERC Week”, encouraging the institutions beneficiaries of ERC Grants to organize national and/or local events to promote Science and Innovation obtained through ERC funding.
UMinho decided to associate to this initiative and promotes on the 15th of March the “ERC Day at University of Minho”, open to all scientific community, with activities ongoing during the morning, at 3B’s Research Group facilities, research center of UMinho located at Avepark (Caldas das Taipas, Guimarães) and that coordinates three ERC Grants, namely 1 Advanced Grant and 2 Consolidator Grants.
The number of participants is limited, therefore those interested must register by sending na e-mail to sec-rlreis@reitoria.uminho.pt.

To: 2015-07-03
TERM STEM 2015
Vila Flor Cultural Centre (CCVF), Guimarães, Portugal
02 | 03 JULY 2015
This is a series of events organized by 3B’s Research Group team that intends to make a stand in the worldwide range of conferences in the field. A range of world scientific leaders will be meeting and presenting their latest research, covering the most relevant topics related to Stem Cells and Nanotechnology and their uses in Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine. The meeting will be organized in a Gordon Research Conference style. In addition, besides a cutting edge scientific program in the field of Nanotechnology and Stem Cells applied to Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine, we have included a dynamic social program that will allow an informal interaction between participants and a delightful experience in this beautiful historical city of Guimarães.
The POLARIS Conference
Challenges in Nanomedicine and Regenerative Medicine
Vila Flor Cultural Centre (CCVF), Guimarães, Portugal
29 June | 01 July 2015
This conference will address the latest research and advances in this increasingly multidisciplinary field by means of joining together leading scientists (with very strong research publication and funding records, and a large experience on high-level university education) in their respective participation topic. The aim is to promote knowledge transfer and a successful scientific/technological dialogue between young researchers and experienced ones. This event will be organized very similar to GRCs to encourage open communication and to establish a good, direct communication between scientists working in the same subject area or in complementary research fields. The broad spectrum of sub-themes that are related with the field of NanoMedicine (detailed in the website) and that will be included in the conference program requires a larger number of participants.
Managing Intellectual Property and Innovation
To: 2015-03-17
Grupo 3B’s promove curso de formação na área da Propriedade Intelectual
O Grupo de Investigação 3B’s – Biomateriais, Biodegradáveis e Biomiméticos da Universidade do Minho, dirigido pelo professor Rui L. Reis, organiza nos próximos dias 16 e 17 de março um curso de formação na área da Propriedade Intelectual (PI). A iniciativa tem lugar no auditório do AvePark – Parque de Ciência e Tecnologia, em Guimarães.
Este curso realiza-se no âmbito do Projecto Europeu FP7 REGPOT – POLARIS “Unlocking the research potential of 3Bs Group, in Nanomedicine field to strengthen its competitive position at the European level”.
O principal foco do curso é a Gestão da Propriedade Intelectual e Inovação, incluindo todos os aspetos de leis internacionais relacionadas com PI, as diferentes formas de proteção da PI, o empreendedorismo e as várias estratégias de inovação para conseguir explorar comercialmente os desenvolvimentos científicos. Adicionalmente, será discutido o papel da PI na exploração comercial dos desenvolvimentos gerados pela investigação, com enfâse particular na área biomédica.
