“Workshop MicSeaOnMed (EEA GRANT) Blue Biotechnology: from the academy to the entrepreneur sector”
Centro Cultural Vila Flor, Guimarães, Portugal
24 May 2022

The initiative “MIcSeaOnMed - Technical cooperation for the Valorization of Fish byproducts up to the Health and Well-being sectors” is promoted by the 3B’s Research Group of University of Minho, aiming to establish cooperative relations with Icelandic institutions acting on the valorization of fish by-products and associated development of industrial applications, with emphasis on biomedicine.

With this initiative, co-funded by the EEA Grants Portugal under the Fund for Bilateral Relations from the European Economic Area Financial Mechanism, 3B’s Research Group is in contact with University of Iceland, Matís, Iceland Ocean Cluster and Codland, discussing on opportunities to collaborate on projects based on the valorization of marine resources and derived by-products to the proposal of novel applications for human health and well-being.

Under the scope of MIcSeaOnMed, a workshop entitled “Blue Biotechnology: from the academy to the entrepreneur sector” is being organized to be held in Guimarães, Portugal, on the 24th of May 2022.

“Tendon Regeneration: a throwback to the lessons learned and prospects to the future.”
Centro Cultural Vila Flor, Guimarães, Portugal
25 | 27 May 2022

The 3B´s Research Group – Biomaterials, Biodegradables & Biomimetics from University of Minho, Portugal, https://3bs.uminho.pt) is coordinating a TWINNING H2020 European project (ACHILLES: https://achilles.i3bs.eu) focused on overcoming specific weaknesses in tendon biology to advance the design of advanced regenerative therapies. In the framework of this project, we have organized a series of three international conferences/workshops, in the recent years, with outstanding feedback from the participants. 

The Final Achilles Conference will focus on  recent findings and advances and prospects to the future in tendon regeneration will take place in Guimarães, Portugal, from the 25^th to the 27^th of May 2022. 

The Final Achilles Conference will also wrap up the key results and activities implemented during the project, including oral and poster presentations, networking sessions and round table discussions.  The event is organized for students, young researchers, and leading international experts interested in key aspects of tendon biology and recent therapies for tendon injuries treatment. 

The Final Achilles Conference is being planned to be held as a in person event following all the recommendations and guidelines from the National and European Health authorities, enabling the safe exchange of ideas and scientific results.
