Membranes for Biorefining and Biomedicine
BEST Course Summer Season 2023
18 July- 26 July


Join Now!!!
Membranes… What comes to mind when you hear that word? “Molecules”, “Cells”, maybe “Polymers”? Surely not “Bioreactors”, nor “Artificial Organs”, and definitely not “3D Printing”. What if we told you that Membranes can be all that and so much more?
In this course, you will have the opportunity to study membranes like never before, starting with the basics of how membranes work and interact with their surroundings and moving on to explore the infinite range of applications, including Biorefining and Biomedicine, Biopolymeric Membranes, and Regenerative Medicine and Artificial Organs!
During the course’s 9 days, you will not only interact with experts in this field, but you will also have the opportunity to apply your newfound knowledge by trying innovative techniques for Membrane Development, including 3D Printing. You will even have the chance to show everyone how much you have learned with a group presentation! By the end, you can be assured that “Cells” and “Polymers” will not be the only words coming to your mind when you think of Membranes!
And, of course, never forget all the wonders that Portugal has to offer, like the sunny days at the beach, super delicious cuisine, and all the amazing people you will get to know here!
Are you prepared to have the most fantastic and terrific “Nightmare Before Summer”? Then, hurry up, pack your stuff, and run to Almada! (Well, maybe it is BEST if you fly instead of run 😂)
