Prof. Hossam Haick Receives Three Grants

Prof. Hossam Haick of the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology has won three prestigious European research grants totaling 4.2 million euros for his research group. He will also serve as chairman and coordinator of one of the projects that has 22 partners and a total funding of 14 million euros. Winning the grants was preceded by intensive work by the members of Prof. Haick’s research group — the administrative manager of the group Liat Tsuri, and Dr. Rotem Vishinkin, a scientific researcher and project manager.

This is an unprecedented achievement by Prof. Haick, a faculty member at the Wolfson Faculty of Chemical Engineering and the Russell Berrie Nanotechnology Institute (RBNI). Prof. Haick also currently serves as the Dean of Undergraduate studies at the Technion and is an expert in the field of nanotechnology and non-invasive disease diagnosis.

The grants are awarded within the framework of the Horizon Europe program, which supports consortia that produce cooperation among many entities in the European Union while focusing on practical solutions to the challenges of the time – all based on innovative technologies whose development demands extensive international cooperation.

“This is an extraordinary achievement by Prof. Hossam Haick,” said Dr. Asi Cohen-Dotan, Head of the Technion R&D Foundation’s Research Promotion Unit. “Prof. Haick continues to lead successes in very competitive tracks in the European research programs, while performing a significant organizational role.” This year, the Technion succeeded in increasing both the number of grants it receives from this program and their financial range, which has made it a noteworthy player in European activity in applied research.
