On 29 January, 9.00 - 10.30 a new research and innovation programme will be launched at the University of Latvia (UL) Academic Centre, Science House (Jelgavas iela 3), rooms 103 and 104. The programme will provide €12.8 million in state funding for scientists to create new technologies by the end of 2026.
The funding will be made available under the national research programme "Innovation Fund - Long-Term Research Programme" for the project "Biomedical and Photonics Research Platform for Innovative Products" or "BioPhoT". The aim is to foster cooperation and technology development between the biomedical, photonics and smart materials sciences and the commercial sector.
The programme runs until 2032. During this period, 35 new and competitive technologies in biomedicine, medical technologies, pharmaceuticals, photonics, smart materials, electronics, technology and engineering systems are planned.
The event will provide information on the objectives and benefits of the project, application deadlines, conditions and process, as well as clarify any questions.
