WIN-ICN2 Joint Seed Funding Programme Expanded with Two Additional Projects

The WIN–ICN2 Joint Seed Funding Programme has been expanded to include two additional projects, enabled by increased funding from both institutions in recognition of the high quality of proposals received. The newly funded projects—MYHEAL, focused on 3D-printed antimicrobial bandages for chronic wounds, and SHINE, which develops sustainable organic electronic transistors—were the next highest-ranked submissions. This expansion strengthens collaboration between WIN and ICN2 and supports the programme’s goal of building foundations for future international funding, including Horizon Europe.
