Report on state-of-the-art and SWOT analysis

Assess regulatory pathways used today, either on purpose or due to the lack of specific regulation. Identify best practises for the use and acceptance of processes, protocols, and supporting technology but in particularly explore shortcomings due to incompatibility and lack of standardisation. Chart the ethical discussion on organ-on-chip technology and areas that may be strongly affected by it (e.g. 3R). All assessments will explore the landscape in the partners’ countries, in Europe, and outside Europe (including US but also assessing trends e.g. in emerging economies).
