The summer school aims to develop and enhance competencies in the field of biomaterials and surface functionalization, with the objective of improving the interaction between biological tissues and materials, while at the same time reducing issues related to the foreign body response, often associated with the introduction of biomaterials.
In addition to scientific and technological aspects, the program will also address production-related topics, through contributions from representatives of leading local companies, as well as medical and application-related aspects, offering a comprehensive and interdisciplinary perspective on the sector.
The summer school is addressed to PhD candidates and students from various engineering and medical degree programs who demonstrate a strong interest in the topics covered. Furthermore, it aims to provide training opportunities for personnel working in biomedical companies, fostering dialogue between academia and industry.
