The meeting finished with a lab tour in which all the partners participated and could see first-hand the premises of the kind host for this 1 st annual meeting, Prof. Katharina Landfester and Dr. Svenja Morsbach from Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research at Mainz, Germany.

Q: Co-funding scheme for PhD programs within the VES4US project

VES4US has created a PhD program with a co-funding scheme to hire new researchers. The CNR at Palermo (Italy), who is the coordinator partner of VES4US, calls for the involvement of industrial stakeholder through the participation in a co-funding scheme for PhD bursaries. The recruited students will be enrolled in one of the following PhD schools at the University of Palermo : “Technologies and sciences for human health”, PhD school in “Physics”. The PhD studentship will be managed under the agreement of three partner: Scientific partner: CNR (responsible for the research in the frame of VES4US project) Academic partner: University of Palermo Industrial partner: the sponsor company Interested Industrial partners in partnering with VES4US to develop the new generation of scientist and experts in EVs, contact Mauro Manno at mauro.manno[a]cnr.it Characteristics PhD programme

Q: VES4US PITCHED TO INVESTORS

The past 26 th of March Laura Corcuera from Zabala pitched VES4US to raise private funding for Industrial Validation in front of 13 investors in “EVs in the market by 2024” at Les Ateliers des Tanneurs in Brussels. She introduced the powerful team that is formed in this project, with more than 30 professionals covering the needed fields. She also presented the EVs upscaling, characterization, isolation, modification and business development. This pitch was part of the formation she received during the three FET2RIN’s trainings that happen in this past year.

Q: JOINT SEMINAR ABOUT EXTRACELLULAR VESICLES

The past 5th of February our partners from University of Ljubljana and the Consiglio Nazionale della Ricerche gather in a first seminar about extracellular vesicles. The event was in Naples, and the speaker was Prof. Veronika Kralj-Iglic who talked about the “Clinical experience with microvesicles”. On February 26th, they will gather again in Naples to talk about "Membrane tubular protrusions and tunnelling nanotubes". This time the speaker will be Prof. Ales Iglic from the University of Ljubljana. The speakers and the organisers are all host researchers from the VES4US project.
