Scope
The PHOTOTECH Action is aimed at European scientists that work towards the design and production of biosensors based on immobilised photosynthetic proteins. Biosensor technology is a rapidly expanding discipline for the development of high performance detection devices applied to environmental and agro-food monitoring, biomedicine, industrial process control, and security measures. In parallel, applications in photo-electrochemical energy conversion are envisaged.
For more information, visit the TD1102 COST Action website or http://www.phototech.eu/.
PHOTOTECH members benefit from:
-
the interdisciplinary nature of the program
-
access to costly instrumentation and bench tests
-
access to deep competences in several fields
-
Short-Term Scientific Missions (STSMs) and Training Schools
-
new established collaborations
-
contact with industrial stakeholders and end-users
-
hightened visibility to national/local funding agencies
-
training opportunities for early-stage researchers (ESRs)
The aim of this action and event are to facilitate knowledge exchange in the development of photosynthesis-based devices between scientists working in the field.
