External Projects:
Collaborative Projects (CPs)
CPs should address substantial technical challenges in the field of Tissue Manufacturing. They should target issues difficult to solve with current approaches and help to drive the development of new technologies..
CPs are expected to be externally funded prior to beginning work.
