The third short talk, which is organised in collaboration with the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) and EU Liaison Office of the German Research Organisations (KoWi), will focus on the Life Sciences domain.
Speakers include David Fernandez Rivas, professor at the University of Twente and Chief Scientific Officer at FlowBeams, who will talk about his insights and learnings in the context of the EIC Transition project iSENS – Integrated needle-free injection and sensing using opto-microfluidics, which originated in the ERC Proof of Concept Grant Skin micro-injector. Further guest speakers are Olaf Groß, professor at the Medical Center – University of Freiburg and Chief Scientific Officer of the Start-up EMUNO Therapeutics, and Emilia Neuwirt, Chief Executive Officer at EMUNO Therapeutics, with whom we will talk about their experiences with the ERC Proof of Concept grant IMMUNOSTIM and the EIC Transition project IMMUNOCON – Controlling immunity with small molecules for a better therapy.
All ERC&EIC Short Talks start with a crisp introduction of the ERC Proof of Concept Grant, the EIC Pathfinder and the EIC Transition instrument, the key Horizon Europe funding instruments to support the translation of research results into new products or services. Afterwards, speakers will talk about their experiences with these schemes and will answer participants´ questions. We are looking forward to interactive discussions.
The ERC & EIC Short talks (held in English) address in particular the following target groups:
- ERC Grantees interested in research transfer
- EIC Pathfinder applicants and beneficiaries
- EIC Transition Instrument applicants and beneficiaries
- Members of Tech Transfer Offices (TTOs)
- Research managers and administrators at universities, research institutions and companies
