This project has received funding from the Interreg 2 Seas programme 2014–2020 co-funded by the European Regional Development Fund under subsidy contract number DERMA 2SO1-027.
DERMA aims to design and develop innovative technologies for the prevention and management of chronic dermal wounds, to which elderly people and diabetics are especially vulnerable. Our work is expected to provide both social and economic benefits for the 2 Seas region.
