GreenSense – Successful Grant Application

The activities of the GREENSENSE project were initiated in January 2018. This PILOTS-05-2017 Research and innovative action aims at developing a sustainable, wireless, autonomous nanocellulose-based quantitative drug of abuse biosensing platform. The project received a grant of 7.9 M euros from the Horizon 2020 framework programme of the European Union and will last until December 2021.

The GREENSENSE grant proposes the development of a sustainable nanocellulose-based hybrid printed biosensing platform for drug of abuse analysis, that integrates high-added value printed electronic components (a new biosensor, a NFC antenna, an energy storage system and an electrochromic display) with an enabling silicon microchip capable of multi-sensor interrogation, data processing and management and wireless communication.

The final flexible, recyclable and ultra-low power consumption NC-based biosensing platform will be mass producible and, therefore, cost-effective, sustainable and environmentally friendly.

To achieve the targeted objectives described above an international and multidisciplinary consortium has been assembled:
