Aix-Marseille University's second European Conference
| We are pleased to invite you to join Aix-Marseille University's second European Conference, to be held on Wednesday 16 June 2021 at the European Committee of the Regions (J. Delors Building, rue Belliard 99-101, 1040 Brussels, Belgium).
As one of the first contributions to the 2021-2030 United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development, the European Conference will take place the week following the 2021 World Oceans Day, at a time when global ocean governance is at a critical juncture. • How can the European Union rely on the latest scientific developments and oceanographic data to help achieve ambitious goals in intergovernmental negotiations? By bringing together leading scientists, European policy makers, key players in ocean governance and representatives of civil society, the event will nurture discussions at the frontier between science and technology, bridging scientific progress to policy actions and advances in ocean literacy.

Prof. Abhay Pandit. Established Professor of Biomaterials at the National University of Ireland, Galway, is Director of the Centre for Research in Medical Devices (CÚRAM), a multi-disciplinary academic-industry-clinician translational research centre.
Prior to joining NUI Galway, Prof Pandit's research at The Kendall Company resulted in a patent and FDA approval for a commercial wound dressing. He has received FDA 510k approval for a hydrophilic wound dressing. He led the Biomaterials Research Group at Surgical Sealants, Inc. where he received IDE approval for a collagen-based vascular sealant. At NUI Galway, Prof Pandit has validated the efficacy of a fibrin scaffold to spatiotemporally deliver multiple biomolecules to reduce inflammation and enhance wound closure in a pre-clinical model of compromised diabetic wound healing. He has also demonstrated the efficacy of a cell seeded collagen scaffold to significantly enhance the percentage wound closure of full thickness cutaneous ulcers. He has published over 225 papers in peer reviewed journals. He is a Fellow of the Tissue Engineering and Regenerative International Society and an International Fellow in Biomaterials Science and Engineering.

The Research Integrity webinar will cover the following topics:
- The importance of responsible behaviour as a fundamental component of quality research to ensure that our research leaders of the future will be upstanding, responsible scientists and mentors.
- The basic fact of reputation – we need to ensure that the quality of our work is maintained so that our partners and peers can rely on any data or other research outputs to the benefit of both society and the economy.
