Two summer schools for PhD students and young scientists will be organized during the ExcellMater project:
– Summer school on biomaterials aimed for dental and orthopedic applications will be held in summer 2022 (location in Serbia to be decided)
– Summer school on bioactive hydrogels and hydrogel nanocomposites aimed for wound treatments will be held in early summer 2023 (location in Serbia to be decided)
