IT-DEDł is a project funded by the European Union's Research and Innovation programme H2020 - MSCA (grant agreement 765608). European Training Network for Integrated Training in Dry Eye Disease Drug Development (IT-DEDł), a rather difficult title that could be roughly translated to: different organisation (e.g. universaties) that are working together to do research, innovations and find solutions for DES.

More and more people are suffering from dry eyes, partly because of our intensive screen usage. Scientists at the University of Antwerp are joining the search for new treatments for this condition under the aegis of a European consortium
