Linh Johansson, PhD student at Mimetis Biomaterials and BBT with the project  "Sustitutos óseos biomiméticos personalizados fabricados con impresión 3D para aplicaciones con trasnferencia de carga", received a scholarship to attend the Summer School "From laboratory to the market of medical devices", which took place at ENSIACET (Toulouse, France), from March 21st to the 25th, 2022.

During the duration of this summer school, topics such as technology transfer, standardization, escalation of production, regulatory issues, the analysis of qualifications and risks and entrepreneurship in the field of medical devices have been addressed. It has also helped participants to develop their business and innovation skills, which are very necessary to successfully market the product resulting from their research (ways to evaluate an innovative idea, protection and exploitation of intellectual property, funding opportunities and networking skills, among others).

The € 1,000 scholarship, funded by the European project RISEus2: "Rising competitiveness of early stage researchers and research management in Latvia", has covered the costs associated with the PhD student's travel and accommodation, and has been awarded to only 4 students.
