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.

Autoship - a new and durable way of freight transport

Autoship is, as the name suggests, an acronym for autonomous ship. Just like with self-driving cars, the possibilities of an unmanned boat seem endless. It can create more efficient freight transport, around the clock deliveries and these are just a few of the examples. The project has two societal challenges.

At first, De Vlaamse Waterweg was a bit hesitant as their experience with FP7 or Horizon 2020 projects was limited and they had not been very successful up until then. The fact that they were already doing basic research on the topic of autonomous boats, and the administrative help of NCP Flanders helped De Vlaamse waterweg to cross the line and get involved.
