The Institute of Physics for Advanced Materials, Nanotechnology and Photonics (IFIMUP) is a physics Research Unit of the University of Porto, operating at Faculty of Sciences aiming to carry out research over a wide range of topics focused on the innovative physical properties of materials at different scales. IFIMUP combine all research experience with the new demands boosted by the leadership of the unique Network of Extreme Conditions Laboratories (NECL) and by a strong commitment on the development of up-to-the-market technological applications to contribute to solve today’s Grand Challenges

The Faculty of Science, University of Porto is one of the largest institutions in the UP students and scientific productivity. His teachers integrate research units of recognized excellence which ensures a high standard of education internationally. Built in 1911, FCUP is responsible for teaching the natural sciences and its applications to technology, with a broad range of courses, master’s and doctoral programs. The U.Porto has the richest academic community in Portugal and brings together the country’s highest ranked students, a highly qualified scientific and teaching staff and a growing number of international students, teachers and researchers. Its fully equipped campus embedded within the city guarantees an optimal academic, scientific, and also social and cultural experience.

Partners:

The Centre for Nanotechnology and Smart Materials (CeNTI) is a distinct European Research and Development Centre, equipped with cutting-edge technology, and conducting world-class research and development. Based in Portugal, a highly qualified research team works with partners around the world, to develop multicomponent fibres, smart materials and multifunctional coatings. This research will contribute to improve and assess the real performance of materials and products in different areas (e.g. well-being & health, sports, protection, automotive, aeronautics, renewable energy devices).

INESC TEC is a private non-profit research institution, dedicated to scientific research and technological development, technology transfer, advanced consulting and training, and pre-incubation of new technology-based companies. As an institution operating at the interface of the academic and business worlds, INESC TEC typically applies the knowledge and results generated as part of its research in technology transfer projects, seeking value creation and immediate social relevance.

At the heart of Europe, the University of Limoges is an important multidisciplinary higher education cluster in an environment more conducive to scientific development. Open, it is a place brimming with interactions, with a diverse student population, efficient hosting structures, close-knit teams, training based on research of a very high level and for well-identified opportunities. Its scientific excellence, with its state-of-the-art laboratories and major partnerships, contributes to inventing the world of the future.

The University of Vigo has been built on deep positive values, based on transparency and good management, integration, equality, diversity and respect for the environment. We are committed to specialization and quality research and, as an institution committed to the social and economic environment, the transfer of knowledge to society is central for us, so we strive for research to continually revert to social development. The university of Vigo offers a wide range of training programs in the three specialized and innovative campuses that have more than 30 centers for research, as well as facilities for sports and leisure.
