Three research teams from the Jagiellonian University that applied for funding from the National Science Centre are amongst the winners of the call organised by the M-ERA.NET 3 network. The researchers will carry out studies on customized DNA-based nanocarriers which boost heart healing, Novel asymmetric anion-exchange membranes for fuel cells and stabilisation of lithium metal anodes with porphyrin-based electrolyte additives.
The National Science Centre, in collaboration with the M-ERA.NET 3 network, organised the M-ERA.NET 3 Call 2022 for international research projects related to materials science and material engineering, low-emission energy technologies as well as research on materials for future battery production technology in accordance with the European Green Deal. Funding was available for international consortia composed of at least three research teams from at least two countries participating in the call.
According to the National Science Centre, there was a total amount of 289 applications. 46 projects, including 10 from Poland, were awarded 43.7 million euro.
List of winning Jagiellonian University projects:
- Customized DNA-based nanocarriers to boost heart healing. Polish team leader: Dr hab. Monika Bzowska, Prof. UJ (Faculty of Biochemistry, Biophysics and Biotechnology). The project will be carried out in collaboration with partners from Estonia, Lithuania and Spain.
- Novel asymmetric anion-exchange membranes for fuel cells. Polish team leader: Prof. Artur Michalak (Faculty of Chemistry). The project will be carried out in collaboration with partners from Brasil, France, Turkey and Israel.
- Stabilization of Lithium Metal Anodes with Porphyrin-based Electrolyte Additives. Polish team leader: Dr hab. Szymon Godlewski, Prof. UJ (Faculty of Physics, Astronomy and Applied Computer Science). The project will be carried out in collaboration with partners from Denmark and Germany.
