A New Chapter in Innovation: Project Successfully Completed! 🎉

We are proud to announce the successful completion of our IPANEMA project, now officially closed with the submission of the final report. This milestone is a testament to the incredible effort, collaboration, and innovation demonstrated by our diverse consortium.

Over the course of the project, we achieved remarkable results:

➡️270.58 person-months of inter-institutional secondments;
➡️73 scientific publications shared with the global research community;
➡️29 novel prototypes developed;
➡️1 groundbreaking technical solution;
➡️1 granted PCT and 1 ongoing PCT application.

This project has strengthened collaboration across institutions, driven innovation, and created a lasting impact across healthcare, agrifood, and environmental monitoring.
A big THANK YOU to all partners and researchers involved for your dedication and hard work. Together, we’ve made this possible! 🚀

🚀 Within the IPANEMA 2020 project – from Serbia to Argentina, science without borders!

Our young researchers from the Agronomy group (BioSense Institute) – Nevena Stevanović, Maša Budjen, and Nikola Stanković – are currently at the University of Buenos Aires, working hand in hand with research colleagues from Argentina on an exciting field experiment.

The study focuses on different nitrogen fertilizer levels, the use of paper-based sensors, and the Plant-o-Meter sensor across various genotypes.

This international collaboration is a great step forward in connecting knowledge, technology, and innovation in agriculture. 🌍

We’re excited to see the results at the end of the season! 🌱📊

Highlights from Dr. Ivana Gadjanski and Dr. Mila Djisalov's secondments! ✨ During their time abroad, the BioSense Institute scientists attended the NEXT-GEN SENSORS - IPANEMA INNOVATORS event, visited 2M Pharma Group where they gained hands-on experience in biotech workflows, and collaborated with Microssistemas e Nanotecnologias on nucleic acid-based pathogen detection systems.

Amazing to see secondments in action—advancing research, boosting skills, and fostering collaborations! 🌟

⏮️ 🧬 throwback to this spring:

Prof. Dr. Željko D. Popović from University of Novi Sad, Faculty of Sciences (Prirodno-matematički fakultet Novi Sad (zvanična stranica)) completed his secondment at 2M Pharma Group as part of the project! During his stay, he presented his research and engaged in insightful discussions with the 2M Pharma team, Verónica Martins (R&D Manager) and Mauro da Silva (General Director). A great example of how secondments foster collaboration, knowledge exchange, and new research perspectives!
