This collaboration has so far included student internships and exchanges, online meetings, and visits of UPHF staff to Poznan, including participation in the Biomedical Engineering Conference<\/strong> organized by Poznan University of Technology.<\/p>\n

During the visit, we had the opportunity to become familiar with the organizational structure of the university and its links to the regional industry (particularly the railway sector: Alstom and Bombardier, and the automotive sector: Toyota and PSA), as presented by Daniel Quiroga Quintanilla<\/strong>, mobility coordinator within EUNICE, and Prof. S\u00e9bastien Grondel<\/strong>.

It conducts interdisciplinary research in electronics, photonics, acoustics, nanomaterials, and microsystems, combining fundamental sciences with industrial applications.<\/p>\n

During our visit to Valenciennes, we had the opportunity to tour the laboratories, including educational labs, and to learn about microsystems developed at IEMN \u2013 including cochlear implants, components of an active bronchoscope, and micro-drones. The laboratories were presented by our project partners, Prof. Eric Cattan<\/strong> and Dr. Thanh-Hang Tran<\/strong>, who introduced the current results of their work on conducting polymers. We also conducted discussions with them regarding the ongoing project and potential directions for further research.[\/vc_column_text][vc_gallery css=”” type=”image_grid” images=”57861,57851″ image_grid_loading=”default” layout=”4″ item_spacing=”default” gallery_style=”7″ load_in_animation=”none”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]Fig. Prof. Eric Cattan presenting MEMS applications based on conducting polymers<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_gallery css=”” type=”image_grid” images=”57873,57883″ image_grid_loading=”default” layout=”4″ item_spacing=”default” gallery_style=”7″ load_in_animation=”none”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]Fig. Prof. Sofiane Ghenna presenting the robotics and automation laboratories<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]One day of our visit was spent in Lille, where we visited one of the largest cleanrooms (ang. cleanroom) in France.
