Vladimir Gauthier (CellSelect project), Aliyasin El Ayouch (Metabsorber project), Romain Viala (MICAD project), were rewarded during the regional final which took place on October 16 in Dijon

This Entrepreneurs-PhD competition rewards the best entrepreneurial initiatives of PhD students or young PhD who have the project to create start-ups dealing with their thesis work.

This first Bourgogne-Franche-Comté final took place on October 16 in Dijon. Over the 7 selected finalists, the 3 laureates reawarded were :

Vladimir Gauthier 1st prize for his « CellSelect project » which proposes a robot capable of improving the precision and speed of cell sorting in the field of innovative therapies.

Aliyasin El Ayouch "Metabsorber project » which proposes a technology able to turn any material (wood, glass, plastic ...) into an insulator material or acoustic absorbent

Romain Viala "Coup de cœur prize" for the development of musical instrument design software which allows the creation a specific instrument in a biobased material.

Next step on November 22th in Paris with Vladimir Gauthier for the national final of the Researchers-Entrepreneurs Challenges !
