Patras Meeting

At the half-year mark of NerveRepack, The University of Patras (UP), Greece, hosted the consortium face-to-face meeting in January 2024. All research teams from Greece attended the meeting including PIs, Dr. Theodora Katsila (NHRF), Prof. Stephanos Zaoutsos (UTH), Dr. Vassilis Protopappas (OS), and Prof. Georgia Sotiropoulou (UP).

The agenda of the meeting included general sessions for all the workpackages and dedicated technical sessions. The WP leaders presented the management of the team work in each workpackage, the latest results, but also the challenges they faced during the first 6 months.

Technical meetings were also organized for the partners involved in the development of implantable devices, electronic design, and mecatronic structures. The meeting offered a great opportunity to move forward with several technical issues and complete the initial specifications for most of the critical components and systems have been clearly detailed and development has started.

The Coordinator of NerveRepack Prof. Carmen Moldovan and Emeritus Prof. Georgios Papanicolaou, member of the NerveRepack Advisory Board, gave an interview to the IONIAN local channel to communicate the project to the general public.
