On behalf of the consortium that carried out the VitalTissue feasibility study the core team received the ZonMw Pearl Award. “This is only awarded to exceptional projects,” said Arfan Ikram, chairman of ZonMW during the award ceremony. We are extremely proud and honored by this recognition! We would therefore like to thank everyone and all organisations that have contributed to the initiative in recent years or supported it in one way or another.
The festive event took place yesterday in Museum Corpus, in the presence of approximately 40 representatives of the consortium and important stakeholders. Cyrille Krul announced that we will really start implementing VitalTissue, certainly after ETB-BISLIFE has agreed to realise VitalTissue. Consultations are currently underway with various ministries and ZonMw to determine the possibilities for providing start-up funding.
