SUMMARY
● The objective
of LASIG-TWIN is to create a
networking collaboration between the Romanian National Institute for
Laser,
Plasma and Radiation Physics (INFLPR) and its Laboratory of Solid-State
Quantum
Electronics (ECS) and four other high renowned institutes from Germany,
the UK
and France, providing a unique opportunity for INFLPR and its partners
to
significantly increase their science excellence and visibility,
technology
innovation capacity and industrial exploitation capability in the
fields of
laser spark plug for fossil fuel efficient combustion fundamentals and
applications. The project will focus on the key target actions of
composing
Teams of Excellence, an ambitious Training and Lecturing Program and
the
Roadmap for a future collaboration, organizing short term Staff
Exchanges (Training)
and Expert Visits (Lectures) that will help raise INFLPR’s research
profile as
well the one of the partnering institutes, organize two public Summers
School
type activities, internal and external expert driven Technology
Workshops and
Business-to-Business (B2B) meetings in conjunction with industry and
academia
clusters, and finally bringing the world-renowned Laser Ignition
Conference
(LIC) in 2017 to the INFLPR in Romania to increase INFLPR’s, the
Romanian and
the European visibility in the fields of Laser Ignition. The
technological
topic addresses the major challenge of mankind to lower the carbon
footprint by
efficient energy usage, thus LASIG-TWIN will also have a significant
societal
impact. Dissemination will take care of this aspect by bringing the
networking
ideas to a broad public, from experts, the science community and
industry
stakeholder organization, to the interested, nonprofessional crowd,
making
society more aware of the importance of fuel efficiency and of the
effects of
EU funded Research and Development.
