As the BRIDGE project converged toward its final implementation phase, the consortium successfully identified a focused portfolio of two Key Exploitable Results (KERs) positioned at TRL 4. These advanced methodologies include optimized room-temperature ozone sensors and sustainable, lead-free double perovskite platforms with high technological and societal potential in the breath diagnostics and environmental monitoring sectors….
The collaborative research within WP4 has yielded remarkable scientific outcomes. The BRIDGE project has successfully delivered: More details can be found in Publication section of this website
We are proud to announce the successful completion of the BRIDGE project (01/10/2022 – 31/03/2026), including its approved 6-month extension. Over the course of 42 months, the consortium fully achieved all twelve project objectives, submitted all seventeen deliverables, and met every single milestone. BRIDGE has seamlessly bridged the gap in material synthesis (all-inorganic metal halide…
A core priority of the BRIDGE project was to equip researchers with the entrepreneurial mindset and practical tools required to translate laboratory excellence into high-impact industrial innovations. Through dedicated technology transfer workshops led by innovation managers from IIT and Fraunhofer IVV, and the strategic enrolment of FORTH in the EU-funded WiderAdvance Facility, our team successfully…
To effectively close the R&I gap and secure long-term scientific independence, the BRIDGE project served as a strategic catalyst for upgrading FORTH’s laboratory capabilities. By transferring best practices from IIT and Fraunhofer IVV, the Ultrafast Laser Micro- and Nano-Processing (ULMNP) group at IESL-FORTH successfully integrated state-of-the-art synthesis, optical characterization, and data tracking tools that remain…
Mobility and reciprocal knowledge transfer were the core operational engines of the BRIDGE Twinning action. A total of 41 short- and long-term staff visits and secondments were successfully executed between the consortium partners. This systematic program balanced 22 outward secondments of FORTH researchers and administrators with 19 inward visits from world-class IIT and Fraunhofer IVV…
A vital component of the BRIDGE project’s dissemination strategy was the execution of a high-profile seminar and colloquium series. A total of 19 scientific seminars were delivered across the partner institutions, open to the wider institutional communities of IESL-FORTH, the University of Crete (UoC), the Hellenic Mediterranean University (HMU), and our international partners. Attracting significant…
Human capital development and intense technical training were at the heart of the BRIDGE project. Across the project’s duration, a rigorous and structured training curriculum comprising 12 advanced courses was successfully completed, delivering a total of 121 course-hours. This program combined comprehensive multi-day courses hosted at FORTH by senior researchers from the Fondazione Istituto Italiano…
