Two new collaborative European projects have just been awarded to our Institute in the last call of FET open. FET open is a funding instrument for breakthrough ideas requiring multidisciplinary research that can enable new technologies in the long run.

Ruben Costa will coordinate a € 2.7 million project to engineer artificial proteins for biological LEDs, and Javier Segurado will work in numerical multi-scale methods for shock absorbing metamaterials produced via 3D printing.
