Supramolecular chemistry offers the design of molecular information-controlled, "programmed," and functional self-organizing systems, and provides an original approach to nanoscience, as well as a powerful alternative/complement to nanofabrication, nanomanipulation and drug delivery. All this makes supramolecular chemistry a truly multidisciplinary research subject with great potential for the future development -and logically brings the need for suitable teaching. This training at the level of young researchers and students cannot possibly encompass all biomedical aspects of the supramolecular idea, but must concentrate on the achievements reached with synthetic ligands interacting with biological systems. Following this concept it is clear that the teaching cannot give illustration of all aspects of non-covalent assemblies in the biomedical field. And there is no need to do that! It is enough to make visible, for the young people, the unlimited possibilities of using intermolecular interactions in living systems and to inspire them. The inspiration is the building stone of the current proposal. In this Institutional Partnership we unite the efforts of the Department of Chemistry and the Adolphe Merkle Institute (AMI) (University of Fribourg), the Faculty of Science (University of Kragujevac) and the Institute of Organic Chemistry (Bulgarian Academy of Sciences) in creating of suitable educational background for teaching in supramolecular chemistry and its biomedical applications in the Balkan area. This geographic area, for long time a synonym of violence and instability, is now in a process of transition, success of which crucially depends on the availability of well-educated, motivated, beyond geographical borders minded young people. With SupraMedChem@Balkans.Net we plan to create a solid background in the modern teaching in supramolecular chemistry and to implement the best Swiss educational and research standards. This will be achieved by a three layers approach:- Teaching activities (basic layer), which aim to develop new curricula for teaching in supramolecular chemistry and to provide conditions for training in the general concepts of supramolecular chemistry by organizing Summer/Winter schools;- Training initiatives (upgrade layer), which are directed to increase the capacity of the staff of the partner institutions to do research and education in biomedical supramolecular chemistry through personnel exchange and organizing workshops;- Strengthening the research and renewal of the infrastructure (sustainable development layer) in order to strengthen the training and research capacity of the participating Balkan institutions.Number of important outcomes is expected in respect of the institutional capacity building, but the most substantial benefits are expected for the young people (high school and university students, PhD students and young researchers). This IP provides a unique opportunity to build up an educational profile and research career. We will provide basic (Summer schools) and advanced (Workshops and exchange scheme) teaching by using the complementary expertise (solid state - solution - gas phase; theory - experimental studies) of the partner groups. Through the exchange schemes the trainees will have the opportunity to work in different scientific and cultural environment, to establish new contacts and friendships and to acquire new skills in the research and management. The proposal unites 3 successful research teams, working actively in experimental supramolecular chemistry, and gives a clear perspective for strengthening their research and teaching by creating condition for expansion in the biomedical direction and for collaborative networking in future.
