Description of Project:
|
The objective of the project: To increase opportunities for collaboration in the field of nanotechnology via twining of Ukrainan Institute of Physics (IOP) with institutions of European Research Area. It will help the Institute:
- to adopt the good practices of the leading European R&D centres to improve the strategic management system of the IOP based on the new 5-year strategic plan;
- to adopt European practice on creation, expertise and transfer of nanotechnology for Ukraine;
- to stimulate development of nanotechnologies as a priority development area for ensuring Institute's regional leadership while Ukraine is moving towards the innovation and intelligence based economy;
- to maintain a flexible and adequate portfolio of R&D activities;
- to improve scientific staff competences in preparation and application for grants under FP7
- to enhance significantly the level of cooperation with industry and businesses in the area of intellectual property commercialization;
- to establish strategic alliances with R&D institutes and universities at the national and international level to increase Institute's scientific capacity;
- to involve young scientists in the priority areas of science both from the IOP and the partner institutions;
- to disseminate information and to share experience gained in the course of the Nanotwinning Project with Ukrainian institutes.

There are 5 WPs provided in the Nanotwinning Project:
- the 1st WP is aimed at general coordination, achievement of all project milestones and implementation of the Project.
- The 2nd WP is an integration of scientists of IOP in ERA by experience exchange, creation of joined SES laboratory and holding of "Nanobiophysics" conference.
- The 3rd WP is intended for involvement of youth into promising directions of research by open days in the Institute, issuance of short-term grants for training, travel grants for participation in conferences and holding of "Nanotechnology: a Hands-On Experience with Fundamental Background and ways of raising Finance in the science" international summer school.
- The 4th WP is the search for ways of additional funding attraction into science and innovations - it is planned to hold short-term theme workshops, technological meetings, where not only representatives of science and external experts will be involved, but also representatives of business.
- On the last stage (WP5) after the analysis of new knowledge and experience gained throughout the project the system of strategic management of IOP will be improved by creation of plan of the Institute sustainability for the following 5 years.
