The proposal presented here brings together five research centers from 4 countries: Poland, Germany, Ukraine and Russia and is devoted to the development of nanosized metal clathrochelate cage compounds based on a template synthesis approach, their physico-chemical characterization and their use in development of novel materials for biomedical applications. The partners involved have a recognized history of collaboration at a project level and have worked together in a series of joint research projects in the past. The establishment of this joint exchange programme will promote and strengthen the complementarity of the participants and will stimulate the teams’ cooperation, thus forming an excellent center of synergy in research, innovation and technology in the area of nanomaterials for biomedical purposes. Each of the labs involved in this collaboration has a unique, yet complementary expertise. By visiting different labs graduate students and early career scientists will significantly improved their skills and expertise. They will also benefit tremendously from visits of senior scientists in partner labs. The proposed academic exchange aims to establish and support multilateral transfer of knowledge and expertise among several European and international research teams. Transfer of knowledge between the partners will also include regular seminars and workshops delivered by the seconded staff .
