We are delighted to share that four researchers involved in the REMEDY project have been recognised among the top 2% of scientists worldwide in the list prepared by Elsevier and Stanford University. This recognition reflects the outstanding scientific contributions and expertise of researchers working within the REMEDY consortium and highlights the excellence of the institutions involved in the project.

The recognised researchers are:
Anna Sandak –  University of Primorska, the REMEDY Project Coordinator, has been recognised in the field of Chemistry, within the subfield of Materials.
Cene Gostinčar – University of Ljubljana, a REMEDY Work Package Leader, has been recognised in the field of Biomedical Research, within the subfield of Microbiology.
Polona Zalar – University of Ljubljana, has been recognised in the field of Biomedical Research, within the subfield of Microbiology.
Nina Gunde-Cimerman – University of Ljubljana, a project partner leader, has been recognised in the field of Biomedical Research, within the subfield of Microbiology.

The inclusion of four REMEDY researchers in this prestigious ranking is an important achievement for the project and demonstrates the high level of scientific expertise represented within the consortium.

REMEDY partners participated in the 4th Annual EIC ELMs Portfolio Meeting, held 30 September – 1 October 2026, at the Royal Danish Academy in Copenhagen, Denmark.

The meeting brought together projects from the European Innovation Council (EIC) Engineered Living Materials (ELMs) portfolio to exchange knowledge and discuss the challenges of developing and scaling living materials from laboratory research toward real-world applications.

Dr. Anna Sandak presented the progress of the REMEDY project. Dr. Jakub Grzybek moderated the focus session, titled “ELMs: From Prototype to Production” together with Dr. Oliver Castell from Cardiff University. The session explored biological, technical, societal and industrial challenges related to scaling Engineered Living Materials.

Dr. Ihab Malat, Ana Gubenšek and Dr. Jakub Grzybek also presented their research during the networking and poster session. This meeting was a great opportunity to meet with other REMEDY partners – Carole Planchette from Technische Universität Graz, Holzinger Dieter from TIGER Coatings and Michael F. Sailer from Xyhlo.

Participation in the meeting provided an opportunity for researchers to present their ongoing research, exchange knowledge and strengthen collaboration with other ELM projects.
