    The Université  Clermont Auvergne (coordinator) will be the project manager (PM) responsible for the overall operation of the project and its smooth running, financial and administrative management including the preparation of budget and reports, timeliness and accomplishment, in addition to being responsible to the EC for the activities of the consortium.

    University of Clermont Auvergne (UCA) was created on January 1st, 2017 after the merge of the University Blaise Pascal (UBP) and the University of Auvergne (UdA). It is the result of a new ambition for the University to ensure more efficiently its missions of public service and to increase its presence and exposure on the local, national and international levels.

    UCA relies on 5 Colleges in Law-Economics and Management, Technology and Engineering Sciences, Life sciences - Health - Environment, Literature - Languages - Social and Human Sciences and Fundamental Sciences. It counts approximately 35.000 students, among them 4.600 foreign students, and approximately 3320 employees corresponding to 1281 university lecturers and researchers and 1937 technical and adminsitrative staff. Furthermore, UCA offers more than 170 training courses from B.A to Doctorate, and counts 36 unities of research.

    The University of Clermont Auvergne (UCA) has a long experience in dental education. The dental school of UCA, founded in 1947, is one of the 16 French dental schools. The UCA dental school is playing an important role for the future of the population’s oral health in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, by preparing future dentists (75 per year of study) to perform high quality, evidence-based and well-adapted dental care. In the last 50 years, scientific advances have changed the practice of dentistry. In the 21st century, dental schools have to face not only technological advances, but also public health challenges with a need to integrate oral health in a comprehensive model of health care and health promotion. Within this context, the UCA dental school is providing a high-quality teaching by preparing students to provide the best care to their partners.

    The faculty has experts (clinicians, researchers, teachers) in all the domains of general dentistry along with experts in the 3 recognized French specialities (orthodontics, oral surgery, oral medicine) working together with academics from the health, biological or educational sciences fields. The faculty is engaged in research with two teams working in the field of neurosciences (NEURODOL, INSERM U1107).

    The University of Sheffield (TUoS) is situated within the heart of England and was founded in 1978. The University has 55 academic departments and 207 research centres, drawing in around £640m per year. 99% of our research is assessed as world-leading, internationally excellent or internationally recognised. Our 30,000 students are supported by over 8000 staff and in 2018 our student satisfaction for Dentistry and Hygiene and Therapy programmes was 100%, placing us the number one in the UK.

    The Sheffield School of Dentistry is part of the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health. Research at the School of Clinical Dentistry contains three overlapping research groups - Bioengineering and Health Technologies, Integrated Biosciences and Person-centred and Population Oral Health. These all sit within four overarching themes that work within the framework of discovery and application of novel research for human benefit. Ninety-two percent of our research was graded as `world leading´ or `internationally excellent´ in the latest Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2014.

    At the School of Clinical Dentistry at TUoS, research takes place in a highly multidisciplinary environment, unique in placing high-quality fundamental and applied science at the interface of a busy clinical service (Charles Clifford Dental Hospital) with an academic mix of biomedical, engineering and social scientists that cover a broad range of themes which underpins our teaching, strengthens our knowledge base and informs the advancement of clinical excellence.

    The school has an active research group in relation to Dental Education, exploring aspects of curriculum reform, bridging the gap between pre-clinical and clinical training, the application of novel learning and teaching technologies, and the development of methods of assessment and competence.
