Expected benefits and activities during participation in BIONECA: Share experience and knowledge generated in my projects where manufacturing processes (forming or 3D printing) are involved Would like to learn from groups who are experienced either brain or heart diseases Would like to learn about and propose design of new biomaterials for combined application To be able to obtain new case studies to share and expand the knowledge generated in my projects. Generate new personal and institutional relationships with experts in this field and gather innovative combination of partners for new projects` applications Foreseen maximum contribution: in WG1 /WG 2 ( but I am a substitute member).
