ESR projects

BIOREMIA research programme will be implemented by 15 Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) recruited by the eleven beneficiary organisations.

The ESRs will carry out research on individual projects across the work-packages for designing, synthesising, characterising, and testing various biofilm-resistant materials and coatings for bone-related implant applications.

BIOREMIA will provide multidisciplinary and intersectoral scientific training at the interface of materials science and engineering, chemistry, physics, medical device technology, medical and biological sciences, in order to grow up a well-trained group of young scientists with Europe-wide connectivity.

Training structure

The BIOREMIA training programme is based on exposing the PhD fellows to a stimulating scientific and professional environment, and providing them with ample experience in interdisciplinary and intersectoral work.

The training programme will include advanced scientific topics, hands-on lab exercises, and industrial aspects beyond the standard PhD programme at universities. To maximise the employability of our ESRs we will deliver an excellent set of key transferable skills for personal and professional development.

The ESRs will be exposed to both sectors through reciprocal industry-academia secondments and participation in the Network-wide training events. The young researchers will also gain social and cultural experience of living in a different country.

The basis for the research training is a coherent, ambitious and timely research program comprised of a broad set of state-of-the-art research projects supervised by excellent scientists. The projects offers great opportunities for young researchers to move from academy into industry and vice versa, and get exposed to both environments.

The 15 ESR projects are presented in the following table where the host institutions, the ESRs and their supervisors are listed for each project, together with scientific objectives, expected results and planned secondments. During a secondment, the ESRs receive supervision and training of a receiving beneficiary or partner organisation. The duration of all secondments can be a maximum of 30% of the ESRs recruitment period. The recruitment can be between 3 and 36 months long.

BIOREMIA ESRs created lovely videos to introduce themselves and their research projects. Go have a look at our YouTube channel and let the recruited ESRs explain their work to you!
