Research Funding
New Funding from the Research and Innovation Foundation!
The Biorheology Laboratory secured €739,986.00 funding for the creation of a new research infrastructure, from the Research and Innovation Foundation (RIF), within the call "SMALL SCALE INFRASTRUCTURES/1222. The program aims to develop a center for research in Complex Fluids, involving experimental, theoretical and computational rheology, reinforced with deep and machine learning approaches. Partners include the University of Cyprus, The CYENS Centre of Excellence, and the industrial partner EMBIO Diagnostics. The Centre for Rheology and Fluidics Technology research in Cyprus (CRaFTC) will be designed to serve the local Industry, and will be utilized for the implementation of high-level cutting-edge research projects.
The DIACTMOND project.
The Biorheology Laboratory received €250,000 research funding from Research Promotion Foundation to develop a DIsease ACTivity MONitoring Device. The DIACTMOND project was initiated in the beginning of 2020 and concluded in July 2022.
