    CONSENSE: Official start of the project

    The Innovative Training Network CONSENSE has officially started!

    Funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions, CONSENSE will train and educate 15 early stage researchers (ESR`s). In parallel to professional development, CONSENSE provides them with a unique opportunity to conduct research that will fundamentally advance the field of continuous biomolecular monitoring for healthcare.

    While the project officially started on 1 March 2021, all partners have been busy for months already preparing for the recruitment process. What this space for updates on free and filled positions!

    EU funds H2020-MSCA-ITN CONSENSE

    The EU-funded Innovative Training Network (ITN) CONSENSE was funded under the H2020 MSCA call 2020.

    The CONSENSE project is developing a new sensor technology suitable for measuring biomolecules important for monitoring disease status and treatment efficacy. A generic technology that enables continuous measurement of a wide range of biomolecular parameters could revolutionize patient monitoring and enable truly personalized therapy with better outcomes.

    CONSENSE brings together internationally leading pioneers in biomolecular switch engineering with research groups that have an excellent track record in biosensor development using advanced optical approaches, including two high-tech companies that have spun out from these groups. The consortium is completed by a strong network of partner industries and organisations, including four large medical technology companies, clinical experts, and six SMEs providing specific technological expertise and training. The consortium will provide exceptional training to 15 ESRs, allowing them to develop professionally and perform world-class research that will fundamentally advance the field of continuous biomolecular monitoring for healthcare.

    The consortium is already looking forward with great anticipation to the imminent start of the project and is excited to be contributing to an important research effort in biomolecular switch engineering together with a strong network of partner industries and organisations.
