Łukasiewicz – PORT is participating in another project funded under the Horizon Europe program! This time, as a partner in an international consortium, we will work on defining priorities for investments in research and technological infrastructures in Europe.
The aim of the initiative entitled “Research Infrastructure Technology Infrastructure For Impact” is to strengthen the integration of European undertakings with the status of research and technological infrastructures and to define priorities for their development. The research infrastructure of Łukasiewicz – PORT—particularly the laboratories where GaN-based devices, sensors, thin-film structures, and porous materials are developed—will serve as the basis for case studies analyzing the functioning of various infrastructure management models.
The project is expected to result in recommendations regarding priorities for management, sustainable development, and investment plans (both public and private) that will ensure continuous access to state-of-the-art research and technological infrastructures.
The consortium consists of 14 institutions from France, Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Slovenia, and Poland. The role of Operational Manager for part of the project is held by Beata Lubicka from our Institute—congratulations!
Our participation in the project is the result of an invitation from the Łukasiewicz Center. We would like to extend special thanks to Marcin Kardas, Director of the Department of Research and Innovation at the Łukasiewicz Research Network, who established contact with the project consortium. The project will enable us—and the entire Network—to expand our knowledge and develop good practices in the field of research infrastructure management together with partners such as Finland’s Teknologian Tutkimuskeskus VTT Oy, France’s Commissariat à l’Énergie Atomique et aux Énergies, and Sweden’s RISE Research Institutes of Sweden AB.
