New COST action branded – Biofilm – the Regulatory Tool box


A new COST action started and Dr. Matthias Buhmann and Dr. Florian H. H. Brill are members of the Management Committee of this new COST action CA 23152 “RegulatoryToolBox”. The purpose of this 4-years network project is building consensus on Biofilm Regulatory Decision Making. This means that we would like to give guidance about methods, definitions etc. that can substantiate claims for products such as biocidal products or medical devices. In this very strong European-wide network under the lead of Professor Dr. Darla Georges who is affiliated at the University of Porto and the Center for Biofilm Engineering of the Montana State University is an extra-ordinary potential for success.

The kick-off meeting was on September 26th in Brussels. The COST action is closely related to our activities of the Biofilm Task Force within CEN TC 216 under the lead of Dr. Florian H. H. Brill.
