On-the-job FP7 training

The 1st On-the-job FP7 training of the START project has been carried out from June 3 to June 5 in Poitiers on the basis of laboratory PHYMAT/CNRS, Institute P´ and University of Poitiers. The following ISM researchers took part in training Prof. N. Novikov, Prof. T. Prikhna, Prof. V. Turkevich, Dr. A. Kozyrev, Dr. D. Turkevich, Dr. T. Basyuk, Ms. A. Starostina.

The following French researchers took part in training

Prof. T. Cabioch´ (University of Poitiers), Prof. J. Rabier (PHYMAT/CNRS), Dr P. Chartier (University of Poitiers), Prof. L. Thilly (University of Poitiers), Mr J.-M. Pincemin (University of Poitiers).

The careful analysis of "Orientation paper prepared in connection with the FP7 2013 Work Programme of THEME 4 – NMP" has been performed. As a result few directions such as “"Nanotechnology for multifunctional lightweight construction materials and components" and "Innovative materials for advanced applications" were chosen. Four possible projects were under the discussion between French and Ukrainian partners and 4 young ISM researchers (less than 35 years old) from Ukrainian team prepared corresponding "White Paper" drafts of the Projects:

White Paper contains the object of scientific and technology collaboration, work program and time schedule. The aim and importance of collaboration and benefits emphasized. The great attention was paid to the discussions concerning amount and qualification of the European partners, availability of necessary research facilities for the Projects successful implementation and research team’s interaction for attaining outstanding scientific results. The main role of the conducted "on-the-job FP7 training" and prepared projects is opening of the wide European perspectives for the research work and subsequent education of young ISM scientists and enhancing the movement of the Institute for Superhard Materials toward introduction into European Research Society.
