Take a look of project's partnership.
Diseases of the posterior segment of the eye are increasing considerably, partly due to an ageing population (almost 20% of the population of Europe now over 65). Despite accounting for approximately 55% of ocular conditions, only 5% of ocular product sales target the posterior segment due to the technical difficulties in developing safe, effective and easy-to-use formulations. Age-related Macular Degeneration and Diabetic retinopathy are some of the main cause of blindness and severe impairment of vision in patients. These diseases represent a considerable burden on patients and healthcare systems throughout the world. ORBITAL has the primary objective of recruiting excellent early stage researchers (ESRs) and developing the next generation of research leaders and drivers. There is a clear unmet clinical need for efficient, safe, non-invasive and patient-friendly strategies for the treatment of prevalent diseases of the posterior segment of the eye. With a necessary collaborative network of European and global experts, from academic, clinical and industrial sectors, ESRs will be exposed to an integrated and complementary network of expertise in materials science, nanotechnology, animal modeling, enhanced in-vitro testing, analytical chemistry and drug discovery. ORBITAL will build an intersectoral consortium with extensive experience in generating innovative technologies and training new researchers. ESRs will be exposed to a broad scientific landscape of complementary disciplines. With the combined skills and knowledge of the consortium, ESRs will be provided with the network, skills and knowledge to develop their careers while the extensive mobility of researchers will lead to increased knowledge transfer and collaborative research
Are you the coordinator (or a participant) of this project? Plaese send me more information about the "ORBITAL" project.
For instance: the website url (it has not provided by EU-opendata yet), the logo, a more detailed description of the project (in plain text as a rtf file or a word file), some pictures (as picture files, not embedded into any word file), twitter account, linkedin page, etc.
Send me an email (fabio@fabiodisconzi.com) and I put them in your project's page as son as possible.
Thanks. And then put a link of this page into your project's website.
