Oactive´s partner RI.MED Foundation participated from the 20th-22nd of October 2019 in the International Conference on Biofabrication in Columbus, Ohio, USA.

Biofabrication 2019 brought together scientists, engineers, regulatory specialists, industry participants, and clinical investigators from around the world to present and share their recent discoveries, research direction, and views on the current problems and opportunities in the exciting field of biofabrication. Five plenary, sixteen keynote, ninety podium, and hundreds of poster presenters gathered for two and a half days at The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. 

In addition to a sponsor’s trade show, special fora were held on publishing strategies, transnational research, regulatory issues, industrial technologies, and opportunities for young researchers.

To coincide with National Biomechanics Day on 10 April 2019 – a worldwide celebration of all things Biomechanics, The University of Huddersfield hosted a very successful Biomechanics Interest Group event themed ‘Applied Biomechanics – the application to real life’. The ever popular event had over 120 registered delegates from across the country and saw a range of stimulating and informative talks from students, lecturers and Professors.
On behalf of our partner Liverpool John Moores University, Bill Baltzopoulos presented the keynote examining the latest technology he and his team are employing, studying ‘Biomechanics of the musculoskeletal system in-vivo and implications for muscle and joint forces in different applied conditions’. The presentation focused on the work of our group on musculoskeletal biomechanics, including an update of the progress of the musculoskeletal modelling tools in the OACTIVE project.

Our partner University of Patras participated at the event “Patras Innovation Quest (Patras IQ)– a Technology Transfer Exhibition” which was held on the 12th -14th of April 2019 in Patras, Greece.

The main objective of Patras IQ is to create a critical competitive advantage both in the research community as well as in the productive sector, through a constant effort to solve problems and apply innovative ideas for the development of new products and services and the optimization of existing ones, which aspire to conquer a part of the national and global market.

Patras IQ has been honored as the National winner and representative for the European Enterprise Promotion Awards (EEPA 2017), and has received the Education Business Award of 2016, and has been established as the continuous meeting of interconnection of know-how & innovation with entrepreneurship.

The exhibitoin is co-organized by University of Patras, the Ministry of Education, Research & Religious Affairs, the Ministry of Economy & Development, the Chamber of Achaia, the Region of Western Greece, the Hellenic Open University and the Technological Educational Institute of Western Greece.
