Published presentation videos of ELM portfolio projects

The EIC Engineered Living Materials and the SMEs Executive Agency have released a collection of short presentation videos from projects in the Engineered Living Materials (ELM) portfolio. The videos were recorded during the 3rd annual meeting of the European Innovation Council (EIC) Engineered Living Materials portfolio, held 1-2 October 2025, at the University of Primorska, InnoRenew CoE in Izola.

All ten projects from the ELM portfolio are featured in the presentation videos: SUMO, BioRobot-MiniHeart, PRISM-LT, Bioaction, Bio-HhOST, ISOS, NextSkins, LoopOfFun, Fungateria and REMEDY. They present the projects and offer an overview of their goals, research approaches and innovative solutions in the field of engineered living materials.

Dr. Wojciech Pajerski participated at the Safe and sustainable by design conference 2025

Dr. Wojciech Pajerski, InnoRenew CoE, UP IAM researcher, participated at the Safe and sustainable by design conference 2025 (SSbD25), held 10 – 12 November 2025, in Dübendorf, Switzerland.

He presented the REMEDY project, funded by EIC, and highlighted its relevance for the development of engineered living materials (ELMs) within the Safe and sustainable by design (SSbD) framework.

The event gathered 125 participants from 21 countries and featured over 100 presentations showcasing practical approaches, innovative assessment tools, and cross-sector collaboration to advance safer and more sustainable innovation.

The event fostered dialogue between researchers, industry, and policymakers. It was organized by Empa and the IRISS project.

REMEDY project strengthens the European research landscape on Engineered Living Materials

The REMEDY project contributes to the rapidly growing field engineered Living Materials (ELMs), supporting the development of sustainable, adaptive, and health-responsive building solutions. As part of a broader European effort to integrate biology and architecture, REMEDY works alongside related initiatives at InnoRenew CoE and across the EIC Pathfinder community.
A newly released ELM Research Line brochure presents how EMEDY connects with other ELM-related projects and initiatives developed at InnoRenew CoE,  forming a coherent research vision that bridges materials science, biotechnology, and architectural innovation. The document illustrates ongoing progress towards regenerative, pollution-resilient, and circular  construction systems.
This synergy exemplifies the interdisciplinary foundation of REMEDY — combining scientific excellence with real-world environmental impact.

REMEDY project featured by the European Innovation Council on World Cities Day

We are proud to share that InnoRenew CoE and the REMEDY project were featured in the European Innovation Council (EIC) Community Story celebrating World Cities Day 2025. The article highlights our role in shaping sustainable and regenerative urban environments through Engineered Living Materials (ELMs), and introduces the innovative concept of the archibiome — living systems designed to interact with and improve built environments.
The feature showcases how EIC-backed projects, including WIDMO Spectral Technologies and REMEDY, are advancing the European Green Deal’s vision of pollution-free, resilient cities through science-driven innovation.
