Abstract

Lives of millions of people worldwide have been improved by application of some kind of implant. The need for new implant materials, as well as old ones with improved properties has been growing constantly. The number of groups dealing with biomaterials has also been growing constantly. Nevertheless, there is a huge gap between developed and third world countries (including Western Balkan countries, newly independent states), which up to now have not been involved in the European Research Area. The goal of FP6 specific support action - project INCOMAT is to bridge this gap in the field of hard tissue implant materials by forming teams of excellence, which will include experts from USA, EU countries and third world countries.
