On February 9, 2026, CLiCAM hosted the Biomaterials Research Day webinar that served as a forum for experts to exchange insights on bioactive glasses, tissue engineering, and biosafety. The event emphasized how cross-disciplinary partnerships between medicine, biology and materials science are essential for driving innovation in the field.

Co-organized by the FunGlass Centre, the CLiCAM project, and the University of Erlangen–Nuremberg’s Institute of Biomaterials, the webinar offered a robust scientific agenda. It combined keynote presentations from established experts with engaging, interactive dialogue among participants.

Attendees discussed key topics:

• Recent research on bioactive and mesoporous glasses
• New approaches in bone and dental tissue engineering
• Advanced scaffold fabrication and processing techniques
• Developments in nanomaterial biosafety and molecular methodologies
• Translational perspectives connecting materials science, biology, and clinical applications

The webinar functioned as a venue for intellectual exchange and the identification of future research challenges in the biomaterials sector. Driven by active participation from both presenters and guests, the event addressed the accelerating pace of innovation and the necessity of cross-sector partnerships.

We express our sincere gratitude to speakers, attendees, and partners whose contributions ensured success of this great initiative
