ERASMUS+ BLENDED INTENSIVE PROGRAM

 

FROM IDEA TO PROTOTYPE: MASTERING LAB-ON-A-CHIP TECHNOLOGY

This Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Program offers a hands-on journey into the development of Lab-on-a-Chip devices, guiding participants from initial concept to a fully functional prototype. Participants will gain practical skills in microfluidic system design, flow modeling using finite element simulations, and prototype fabrication, employing techniques such as photolithography, stereolithography, laser ablation, and 3D printing. The program also addresses prototype testing, parameter measurement, and system validation, providing a comprehensive overview of the complete development process in an international and collaborative learning environment.
