IMT Bucharest is a non-budgetary public research unit, established in 1993 and supervised by the Romanian Ministry of Research, Innovation and Digitalisation since 1996 when it became a national institute. Being an internationally competitive organisation, IMT has been involved in world class research in the fields of micro- and nanoelectronic components and systems, including smart sensors, micro- and nanotechnology for biomedical applications, integrated devices, systems and platforms, portable self-powered devices for medical monitoring, multichannel probes for bio-signal acquisition, and CAD of electromechanical microstructures. In terms of integrated systems IMT has also seen success in the implementation of implantable electrodes, neural interfaces, Wi-Fi communication, biocompatible materials.

IMT is the leader of the NerveRepack project consortium and is also the leader of WP1 (Implantable electrodes), WP8 (Integration the three demonstrators) and WP11 (Management and Ethics). IMT is directly involved in the design, fabrication and testing of the implantable electrodes necessary for the bidirectional communications between the demonstrators’ mechatronic structures and the human nervous system. IMT will coordinate the integration of the separate modules developed over the duration of the project.
