Know4Nano

The Know4Nano project will bring together BioSens Institute and three leading EU research institutions, whose complementary expertise in the field of BnT will be leveraged to develop cutting-edge biosensing platforms for practical applications along the farm-to-fork food chain. By establishing a knowledge transfer platform based on carefully designed mobilities, trainings and novel approaches in mutual collaboration, the project will improve excellence capacities of BIOS, while enhancing strategic networking activities between all partners. Know4Nano will enable researchers from BIOS to acquire essential expertise, competencies, and skills in the field of nanomaterials, biosensors, microfluidics, and food safety, increasing their individual research portfolio, and consequently boosting institutional research reputation. Furthermore, the strategically designed collaboration will enhance BIOS research management capacities and administrative skills, unlock existing research potential and applicability of research results. The knowledge transfer will be of particular importance during this project, which will enable long-term adoption of scientific and technological excellence from the leading European partners’ institutions: - Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2), Barcelona, Spain, Nanobioelectronics and Biosensors Group with expertise in nanotechnology and nanoscience-based biosensors, and microfluidics. - National Research Council (CNR), Rome, Italy, Laboratory for Molecular Sensing, an expert in molecular biology, optical biosensors, biosensors testing and validation, and food safety. - University of Chemistry and Technology, (VSCHT), Prague, Czech Republic, Department of Inorganic Chemistry, an expert in materials science, materials synthesis, functionalization, and characterization of materials.
