BioAssembler

The sustainable transformation of traditional manufacturing systems is critical for the societies of the future. Climate change and increasing resource use require the emergence of innovative bio-smart solutions. However, the innovation environment needs to take into account the impacts of new technologies on economic and social systems. BIOASSEMBLER - Integrating bio-inspired assembly into semiconductor manufacturing technology for biosensors project will develop a bio-inspired assembly technology for scalable manufacturing of silicon-based label free multiplex biosensors in semiconductor fabrication platforms. Focusing on the development of these technologies and how they will contribute to the transformation of the semiconductor industry, BIOASSEMBLER mobilises expertise from the Social Sciences and Humanities in the social and economic assessment of these technological innovations to foster the project's potential to establish sustainable innovation principles, while enabling the transformation of industry in the EU and the sustainable promotion of value creation. The project will also develop innovative strategies for a science-society linkage to engage different social actors - e.g. environmentalists, farmers, students, policy makers - contributing to the advancement of science policies and a more informed society. | This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101070589.
