A multidisciplinary group of academic, industrial and medical partners will lay the foundations for a new paradigm in a new bio-compatible and environmentally friendly actuator smart materials design and implementation, which are poised to have a significant impact on the scientific, medical and industrial community.
The Consortium comprehends 4 top-notch European research centers devoted to the technologicl development of the project: The DANMARKS TEKNISKE UNIVERSITET (Denmark) which will act as coordinator, the WEIZMANN INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE (Israel), the ÉCOLE POLYTECHNIQUE FÉDÉRALE DE LAUSANNE (Switzerland) and LUNDS UNIVERSITET (Sweden).
A company will deal with the actual implementation of the new materials into MEMS and acoustofluidic chips for demonstrating diagnostic applications: ACOUSORT AB (Sweden). Finally, DAY ONE SRL (Italy) will focus on the project dissemination and business-related activities.
