Through interactive lectures\, teamwork in international groups\, and hands-on laboratory work\, students will develop interdisciplinary knowledge\, digital collaboration skills\, and practical competencies essential for sustainable and environmentally responsible research in nanobiotechnology. \n\n\n\nProgramme\n\n\n\nAgeWise is an interdisciplinary learning programme designed to help students understand and respond to the scientific and societal challenges of ageing in Europe and beyond. As longevity becomes the norm\, ageing is no longer a niche issue but a key topic for science\, healthcare\, technology\, urban design\, and social policy. \n\n\n\nThe programme combines biological\, medical\, technological\, and social perspectives on ageing. During the in-person intensive week in Warsaw\, students take part in lectures\, laboratory demonstrations\, interdisciplinary workshops\, and design thinking sessions. Working in international teams\, participants develop human-centred solutions to real-world challenges faced by ageing societies. \n\n\n\nModule 1: Introduction to Circular
