COST Action – MP1301 NEWGEN NEWGEN NEW GENERATION BIOMIMETIC AND CUSTOMIZED IMPLANTS FOR BONE ENGINEERING Dr. Francis Cambier Vienna (AT), August 28th - 29th, 2017
Scientific context and objectives • Background / Problem statement: • Ageing population • Increasing expectations regarding quality of life • Increasing demand for procedures such as total hip replacements, bone reconstructions, spinal fusions… • New advances in biomaterials (improved processing, bioactivity and/or tailored shapes, enough structural integrity and bone integration/regeneration): currently under development at the laboratory scale • However: gap between academic R&D and commercial production, and between materials scientists and clinicians, • NEWGEN MoU objectives: This COST Action, NEWGEN, aims at creating the seed for the European research and industry collaboration, combining basic knowledge from academic laboratories, R&D centres, medical units from hospitals, and a significant number of companies, in the field of biomaterials to realize new functionalized, bioresorbable and customized bone substitutes and more reliable implants

Our consortium! Inclusiveness targeted policy countries in NEWGEN
Our consortium! From 66 groups in the proposals in 2013, up to 167 groups at the end of the Action! 21 European countries signed the MoU before the start of the Action Up to now, 33 countries (on 36) joined NEWGEN Inclusiveness targeted policy countries in NEWGEN
