DESCRIPTION

GENERAL OBJECTIVE

eBio-hub will prepare a long-term science and innovation strategy to advance the research and applications in biomedical field as well as to be a start-up platform for med-tech companies. This strategy will be based on the vision of creating a biomedical research hub at UPB.

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES

  • To position eBio-hub as a strategic research nucleus that combines multiple scientific excellence (biophysics, biomaterials, microfluidics, biosensing, chemistry, materials, microbiology and medicine) to become a leading biomedical research centre in the region, with in increasing collaboration within UPB, between Romanian research institutes and universities, and EU countries.
  • To create a competitive interdisciplinary team by attracting, training and maintain high quality human resources (national and international) on a sustainable basis, created on open, transparent and merit-based recruitment process.
  • To establish eBio-hub-as a centre with an extensive knowledge transfer in postgraduate studies at UPB that supports, through the ERA Chair the setup of a PhD program in biomedical engineering in UPB.
  • To set a best practice example that will induce structural changes in UPB or on a larger scale (i.e., being a platform for future start-ups, promoting gender equality and diversity in science, strengthening the mobility of researchers and the flow of knowledge, promoting interdisciplinary PhD program).
  • To better use the existing state-of-the-art infrastructure from UPB and integrate it with the research capabilities from other research entities from Bucharest.

WORK PLAN

workplan

The eBio-hub’s Work Plan is designed based on the project objectives, according to ERA strategy, and is structured into 7 work packages, which are organised in an orderly and quantifiable way, to diminish the risks and increase the efficiency.
