The BIONANOSENS project www.bionanosens.eu (2020-2023) is devoted to the development of the operational network of EU and Ukrainian scientists and innovators aimed at the IMBG positioning as an international Centre for Excellence in analytical biotechnology also beyond national borders. Corresponding IMBG Strategy will be developed in the project`s frames.

Implementation of the BIONANOSENS project will be fulfilled with the support of 4 high-profile research and innovation (R&I) institutes from Europe, which, together with IMBG form the BIONANOSENS consortium:

UCBL – Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1, France (Prof. Abdelhamid Errachid-el-Salhi, Prof. Nicole Jaffrezic-Reno)

HZDR - Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf, Germany (Dr. Denys Makarov)

ZSI - Zentrum für Soziale Innovation, Austria (Gorazd Weiss, Philipp Brugner)

LIP – Lyon Ingénierie Projets, France (Javier Olaiz, Patricia Odet)

BIONANOSENS implements tailor-made twinning actions helping to build and strengthen capacities at the beneficiary’s end. Both the overall goal of the project and the single objectives related to it are taking into full account IMBG’s current operational situation. Among these objectives there are following ones:

  • to establish institutional grant management procedures,
  • better access to international networks,
  • project proposal writing services,
  • promotion and training of young researchers,
  • service and facilitation to the dissemination and exploitation of research results etc. For Ukrainian stakeholders, strengthening IMBG competitiveness in corresponding research area will be a case of successful story of effective involvement in ERA, improving IMBG responses to the socio-economic needs of Ukraine. Several actions aimed at increasing of IMBG visibility in Ukraine and in ERA also are planned.

BIONANOSENS further exploits the findings of a SWOT analysis, which was conducted for IMBG as part of the COMBIOM project #294932 (FP7). Also, a new SWOT analysis will be performed in the BIONANOSENS project`s frames.

All activities are carried out against the state-of-the-art standards in managing EU funded R&I projects – including Responsible Research and Innovation, gender balance, open access (data management, Intellectual Property management), exploitation and commercialisation orientation, and ethics.
