GAPP  is a 45 month Joint Action funded by the EU Health programme aiming at facilitating the development of a common and optimal approach to assess and authorize preparation processes in blood and tissues establishments (BEs and TEs), adapting requirements as prescribed by Article 29 of Directive 2002/98/EC and Article 28 of Directive 2004/23/EC .   This Joint Action will clearly contribute to the implementation of Union legislation in the fields of human tissues and cells, blood, providing tools and training to increase harmonisation of those MS activities that regulate the areas of blood transfusion, transplantation of tissues and cells and assisted reproduction, in strong abidance with art of Annex I of Regulation 282/2014. These are fields of healthcare that involve a considerable amount of movement of donated substances of human origin between MS and also movement of citizens between MS for treatment, particularly in the field of assisted ; Since the directives for these fields were adopted, significant technical developments have taken place and the complexity of preparation processes has greatly increased. Increasing complexity of processing can bring significant quality and functionality improvements for patients, and/or more efficient use of donations, but it can also bring increased risk, particularly as the level of complexity brings the final product towards the borderline with medicinal products. GAPP will ensure that any possible advantage or outcome is taken into account from two ongoing Public Health Programme projects focused on tissues and cells (EuroGTP II and ECCTR) incorporating a need for clinical follow-up data as part of a comprehensive process authorization. GAPP durable output is that a concept of a knowledge sharing platform on PPAs will be developed and fed in order to facilitate sharing of information among European Union, Competent Authorities and all EU CA inspectors and assessors will be trained specifically to assess and authorize preparation processes of tissues, cells, reproductive cells and blood products.

The University of Salerno (“UNISA”)is ideally linked to the oldest academic institution in the Old Continent: the Schola Medica Salernitana. Founded in the eighth century AD, the School reached its peak between the 10th and 13th century. In addition to medicine, its lectures included philosophy, theology and law. The School, which earned Salerno the title of Hippocratica Civitas (City of Hippocrates) after the famous Greek physician and treatise writer, was closed by royal decree in 1811 under Joachim Murat’s Napoleonic government.

Lombardy Green Chemistry Association-LGCA is the reference point for the Lombard bioeconomy both at national and European level. LGCA is open to all Lombard stakeholders interested in the development of the bioeconomy and aims to: To create favourable conditions for the development of bioeconomy at regional level; To become the reference point and the interlocutor of regional and national authorities for the definition and implementation of policies to support innovation in the bioeconomy field; To establish a meeting and planning place for all Lombard subjects interested in the subject. The Association intends to dialogue with Europe to make visible the Lombardy's resources and expertise in the field of bioeconomy, to promote new business, collaboration and growth opportunities. In Italy, LGCA is a member of the National Technological Cluster of Green Chemistry-SPRING). In Europe, LGCA is an associate member of Vanguard Initiative Asbl, as it coordinates with the Lombardy Region the pilot "Bioeconomy" and participates in EUSALP-European Macro-regional Strategy for the Alpine Region.

Cenetri targets in Open Accessing the research to a maximum extent, for which it chose different ways of creating awareness that includes, but not limited to its journals, conferences, and workshops. The overtaking of Print publications by Online or e-publishing was a milestone and now the Open Access that overtook various other means of publishing, is considered as another great milestone in the field of publishing. We aim to create a vast platform of scientists, researchers and readers, for which we are also planning to make use of the social media. It is well-known fact that, in this current era, social media has nothing that it cannot do, and so, Cenetri wishes to reach the various communities of the society, create an awareness on the ongoing research in various fields, to these communities through the social media, which will be faster, user-friendly and broader. Our main objective is to make “Science on hands”.
