Life Science Engineering
The Baden-Württemberg Foundation has published a new call "LIFE SCIENCE ENGINEERING – Innovative next-generation technologies for the exploration and application of tissue engineering". The research programme pursues internationally competitive, excellent projects with an application-oriented focus. The main goal is to explore new methods, technologies and processes in combination with biomaterials in order to make a concrete contribution to advancing the field of tissue engineering as a discipline. Inspired by the engineering sciences, interdisciplinary research ideas for new and further developments of innovative future technologies are expected. The aim of the projects should be to demonstrate the full potential of the various developments with a proof-of-concept. Projects that also incorporate new digital technologies from the fields of AI, machine learning, modelling, etc. as part of the above-mentioned research aspects are strongly encouraged.
The projects are to be validated primarily in an application-oriented research question in the field of tissue engineering. In the long term, the developments should also contribute to better healthcare in order to advance personalised medicine and the development of novel therapies. The projects should generally be carried out in co-operation.
Project duration should not exceed 3 years. For the whole research programme, the Foundation provides up to 4 Million Euro.
Applications have to be handed in with approval by the President's Office.
For this reason, I am asking for expressions of interest by 25 June 2024 at nathalie.walker@uni-tuebingen.de.
Expressions of interest should include:
- a short description of the project (1-2 pages)
- a rough financial plan
- CVs of the applicants (max. 2 pages per CV)
