Prof. Caroline Buts, Seppe Maes and Prof. Wout De Cock of the Solvay Business School (VUB) have received an EU grant for the SUNAJUST II consortium! SUNAJUST II builds on the success of SUNAJUST I to equip national judges across Europe with essential tools in State aid law enforcement! 👏 SUNAJUST II tackles the growing complexities in EU State aid law that national judges encounter. This comprehensive program provides both foundational and advanced training by providing comprehensive training materials like manuals, knowledge clips, presentations, exercises, and a series of basic and advanced workshops. 🔍 Led by the Brussels Centre for Competition Policy at VUB, SUNAJUST II is an interdisciplinary initiative that combines expertise in economics and law to provide robust insights into the complexities of State aid law. 🤝 We’re eager to see the impact of this project on Europe’s legal landscape. ➡️ Want to learn more: https://lnkd.in/eHTD54zw 🙋♂️ ERIS team: Philippe Westbroek, Alessandra Rossetti, Marie Pfeiffer, Mohammad Boroun, Cristina García Timermans, Maxime Smits #WeAreVUB ERIS@VUB-TechTransfer

Vandaag zijn we een stap dichter bij de ontwikkeling van een nieuw therapeutisch hiv-vaccin. Uit een recente studie, uitgevoerd door een team van onderzoekers van de VUB, UZ Brussel en Universiteit Gent, blijkt een belangrijke vooruitgang in dit proces. 💉 VUB-professor Joeri Aerts, hoofdonderzoeker van het project: "Ons therapeutisch vaccin gericht op het versterken van het immuunsysteem bij mensen die al besmet zijn met hiv, met als doel het virus onder controle te houden." 🗞️ Lees meer over de ontwikkeling van een nieuw therapeutisch hiv-vaccin: https://lnkd.in/exWBa8_A #VUBscience

VUB presents open access core facilities at BioFIT 2024 Together with colleague Rik Van Heijningen I am ready to receive you at our booth E13 of BioFIT 2024 in Lille, France, on Dec 3-4. I look forward to discussing with you the microfluidics research activities of VUB µFlow Cell  (https://lnkd.in/d4kEwQ-6) and the capabilities of MICROLAB, our new 300 m² class 1000 cleanroom equipped with state-of-the-art equipment for advanced microfabrication of microfluidic devices in glass and silicon for medical, pharma, and biotech applications. We are also presenting the Molecular Imaging and Therapy (MITH) research team (https://lnkd.in/edUai9Q4), looking for collaboration in developing, preclinical validation, and clinical translation of targeted drugs for diagnostic and therapeutic applications. #VUB #BioFIT #MedFIT #Microfluidics #Targetedtherapy

Development of a novel SENSOR platform for online monitoring funded by VLAIO/Catalisti Happy to share that VUB µFlow Cell starts cooperation with UHasselt IMO-IMOMEC, Voxdale, B4Plastics and InOpSys in a 3-year ICON project to develop a novel sensor platform for online monitoring of micropollutants such as EDCs and PFASs. The molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) technology of the team of Prof. Anitha Ethirajan of UHasselt will be combined with the microfluidics expertise of the team of Prof. Wim De Malsche of VUB with the ambition to establish a robust, stable and reliable sensing methodology with high sensitivity and selectivity, independent of environmental factors, which can offer an economically viable solution for numerous industrial applications.   #Sensor #Microfluidics #PFAS #VUB #UHasselt

A big thank you to our colleagues at KU Leuven Research & Development for organizing a very engaging and insightful networking day focused on compliance!

Have you ever seen this many people at an event about #compliance? 😉 Yesterday, about two hundred technology transfer and IOF (Industrieel Onderzoeksfonds) colleagues from the five Flemish universities gathered at Museum M in Leuven, to participate in the yearly #TTOFlanders networking event. The main topic of the day: regulatory compliance. Or in other words: doing things right, while doing the right thing! 🌍 A university is indeed the place par excellence where innovations can emerge in an ethical, correct way. The keynotes, panel discussion and workshops at the event all centered around that idea. The event was organized by KU Leuven Research & Development, with the support of UAntwerpen Valorisation Office, UGent TechTransfer Office, UHasselt Tech Transfer and VUB TechTransfer . Already looking forward to next year in Antwerp! 👍 #innovation #networking #techtransfer
