Establishment of the Baltic Biomaterials Centre of Excellence (BBCE) under Horizon 2020 Teaming framework will provide an opportunity to combine expertise and infrastructure, to create critical mass and excel in the respective field and create spill-over effects between different fields. Within the formation of critical mass in research and development, also the cooperation between industry and research organisations will be encouraged, leading to technology transfer and delivery of new products to the market. Hence BBCE project´s main objective is to establish a joint Baltic Biomaterials Centre of Excellence for advanced biomaterial development based on the long-term strategic cooperation between AO Research Institute Davos, Switzerland (ARI) and Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen- Nuremberg, Germany (FAU) on the one hand and three institutions from Latvia - The Rudolfs Cimdins Riga Biomaterials Innovations and Development Centre of Riga Technical University (RTU RBIDC), Latvian Institute of Organic Synthesis (LIOS) and Riga Stradins University, (RSU) on the other hand.
