The EU-funded BRIDGE project aims to implement a training and mobility programme to boost the excellence capacity of Greece’s prominent research center the Foundation for Research & Technology – Hellas (FORTH). Training and networking activities will help to establish FORTH as a leading performer in cutting-edge research and innovation (R&I). The focus is on developing novel perovskite-based nanomaterials for breath sensing applications. Research, administrative and management skills will be improved through twinning. A dissemination and exploitation strategy will promote FORTH and its academic staff’s R&I capacity, visibility and profile.
