This project aims to foster and develop long-term international, interdisciplinary and inter-sectoral collaboration between Europe, USA, Latin America and China. IPN-Bio consortium consists of 13 world-leading organizations (4 EU/UK universities, 3 EU/UK companies, 6 TC partner organizations) from four continents and eight countries working at the frontier of the field with the complementary expertise in the multidiscipline of Photonics, Nanotechnology and Biotechnology.

The project’s objectives and challenges present a balanced mix between industrial application focused knowledge transfer and development and more far-looking studies for potentially ground-breaking applications by exploiting new emerging opportunities with the integration of photonics technology and advanced nanomaterials for the applications in health care, biomedical diagnosis, food safety and environmental monitoring.
