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.

ANERIS - Next generation tools for sensing and monitoring marine-life

Funded under Horizon Europe (HORIZON-INFRA-2022-TECH-01) and running from 2023 to 2026, the ANERIS project aims to tackle the rapid loss of ocean biodiversity. The project’s main objective is to develop, test and implement the next generation of scientific instrumentation tools and methods for sensing and monitoring marine-life. Another key concept of the project is the introduction of the concept of Operational Marine Biology (OMB) as a biodiversity information system. The project consortium consists of 25 partners from 13 countries. Read more about the project and the contribution of Flemish partner VLIZ in this testimonial.
