The Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the Commission invites applications for hands-on training at its state-of-the-art Nanobiotechnology Laboratory. This call offers researchers the opportunity to strengthen expertise in nanomaterials, nanomedicines, advanced materials, and micro(nano)plastics, with a focus on their detection, characterisation, and interactions with biological systems. This is a unique opportunity to access cutting-edge facilities and multidisciplinary expertise at the JRC.
Training and capacity building priorities:
- Topic 1: Hands-on training on the detection and characterisation of micro(nano)plastics in media contributing to human exposure (such as food, drinking water, soil)
- Topic 2: Hands-on training on the detection and characterisation of (innovative) nanomaterials in food, as well as investigation of contaminants arising from food processing of novel ingredients
- Topic 3: Hands-on training on the synthesis and advanced characterisation of nanomedicines including liposomal drug products, Lipid Nanoparticles-mRNA
- Topic 4: Hands-on training on 3D bioprinting and imaging techniques
Early-career scientists are strongly encouraged to apply. Provisional dates of the training: 23-27 March 2026, Ispra, Italy.
