Programme: Recovery and Resilience Plan

IOMT has extensive experience both in conducting fundamental scientific research and in developing a number of applied tasks in the fields of optoelectronics, sensing, photonics, holography, green and information technologies.
In recent years, thanks to the funding received under various programs and projects, the scientific infrastructure of IOMT has improved substantially. In 2016, with funding gained from the National Trust Ecofund, outside thermal insulation of the IOMT building was carried out, which significantly improved working conditions and created a warm and comfortable atmosphere. Although the activities for improving the working conditions and modernization of the laboratories have never stopped, there are still many needs that should be satisfied and for which a serious financial resource is needed.

The current project aimed at the partial renovation and modernization of a separate part of IOMT, including 2 laboratories, 1 warehouse, 3 cabinets and 1 office, and surrounding lobby, corridor and 2 toilets with a total area of 380 sq. m. The aim is to improve working conditions and the internal microclimate in this area for R&D in the field of green and digital technologies. The target groups are researchers, PhD students and students, with different degrees of expertise and level in the hierarchy, performing R&D in the field of green and digital technologies. The planned activities include construction works for internal renovation, as well as supply and installation of laboratory and office furniture and equipment to create safe and healthy working conditions.

As a result of the project, it is expected that the working conditions in the area of intervention will improve, which in turn will further motivate the target groups and attract more students, doctoral students and young scientists. This will open up an opportunity to intensify R&D, attract additional funds through new projects and attract additional industrial partners.
