2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 667387

SupraChem Lab
Laboratory of Supramolecular Chemistry for Adaptive Delivery Systems
ERA Chair initiative
 

Considering the “P Poni” Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry (PPIMC) development strategy and also the research challenges in the Romanian Smart Specialisation Strategy as well as the Horizon 2020 objectives it is vital to set up an optimal research team for the IntelCentre able to improve the excellence of the centre within PPIMC and in the European research and innovation landscape. It is very important to adjust the level of research carried out in the IntelCentre to the level of leading international laboratories and to position the Centre as forefront of Romanian research in this area.

The strategic objective of the SupraChem Lab Project is to unlock and foster excellent research in PPIMC IntelCentre by setting up a strong research group in the field of hybrid materials for adaptive self-organized supramolecular structures.

To attempt this ambitious goal, a coherent Action Plan with 10 specific objectives has been defined. Table 1 presents this Action Plan of implementation of the SupraChem Lab project in terms of objectives and activities foreseen in order to fulfil them and the delivery time that have been associated to them.
