The National Institute of Materials Physics (NIMP) is a lead scientific institution in Romania, determined to become an excellence research center at European level. Its current research topics are related to solid state physics and materials science, with special focus on oxide materials, organic-inorganic composites and hybrid structures, dedicated for applications ranging from electronics and life sciences to green energy or nuclear fusion reactors. The Institute has a modern infrastructure, covering various preparation/deposition methods and a wide number of characterization techniques, highly qualified personnel and a significant number of collaborations with research institution from abroad.
The International Workshop of Materials Physics organized by NIMP aims at becoming a periodic forum in the exchange of ideas between the local researchers and distinguished members of the international research community in the field. Presentations will be both related to scientific breakthroughs and success stories of applications of research results in industry.
Accordingly, the extra – scientific topics of the workshop for its first edition will be covering the following aspects:
- Connecting NIMP to new hot research topics with the aim to develop new collaborations of high potential success for EU project applications (with special emphasis on novel materials and interface with life sciences)
- Increasing attractiveness for foreign researchers to come and work at NIMP (with the possibility to apply for ERA-Chair projects or ERC grants)
- Increasing the performance and improving the image of NIMP’s researchers in order to successfully apply for ERC grants (learning from the experience of ERC grantees)
- Learning good practices for improving excellence in research, with special emphasis on the innovative aspects and the general relation with the industry (including discussions regarding application for TEAMING and TWINNING projects)
