Secondments are the key activities that will increase the competitiveness of the participating organisations and will allow high expertise and knowledge to be transferred to the younger generation, by giving them the opportunity to work and directly communicate with high-level researchers from both academia and SME.

MUV researchers to MORPHE
For the second time researchers from the Medical University of Varna have been seconded to the partner organization MORPHE in Thessaloniki, Greece. Both project partner groups carried out joint activities under Work package 2: Computational methods for creation of anthropomorphic phantoms of female breast and its structures and Work package 3: 3D printing technologies.
Along with the progress on the development of methodology for creation of anthropomorphic breast phantoms, the team members started an investigation of the materials used with fused deposition 3D printing technology.

MUV researchers to MORPHE
In August 2021, team members of the Medical University of Varna performed their first secondments in the partner organization MORPHE in Thessaloniki, Greece. Both project partner groups carried out joint activities under Work package 2: Computational methods for creation of anthropomorphic phantoms of female breast and its structures.
The fruitful collaboration set the stage for the development of methodology for creation of anthropomorphic breast phantoms based on MRI images. Hosted organization members from MORPHE, together with seconded staff from MUV, applied their knowledge in practical realisation of methods for creation of anthropomorphic breast phantoms.
