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.

More information and application: 2025-1-TCB-NanoBiotech - Nanobiotechnology laboratory - The Joint Research Centre: EU Science Hub. Deadline to apply: 28 November 2025, 23:45 (CET)

iCARE4CVD: Thomas More participates in research on improving patient care

Funded under Horizon Europe’s Innovative Health Initiative (HORIZON-JU-IHI-2022-02-01) and running from 2023 to 2028, the iCARE4CVD project aims to improve patient care across the board, starting from those at risk of developing cardiovascular disease to those with advanced heart failure. Thomas More University of Applied Sciences plays an important role in the project focusing data analysis and AI modeling as well as on the implementation of Patient-Reported Outcome Measures and Patient-Reported Experience Measures.
