 Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)

'The vision of START is to reinforce the cooperation between EU and Ukraine in the field of Superhard Materials and its application areas in the various thematic priorities of FP7. Thus, START will support the Ukraine’s leading research institute in the field of Superhard Materials, namely V.N. Bakul Institute for Superhard Materials of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (ISM), to become a “flagship institute’ in international cooperation. START will: a) analyse ISM’s research competencies, review the scientific and technological developments and examine the EU/Ukraine’s collaboration framework in order to develop ISM’s long-term Research Strategy and position the Institute in the international research arena; b) set up a consultation, assessment and validation mechanism in a collaborative perspective with EU research actors to monitor the implementation on ISM’s Research Strategy; c) organise a variety of training activities adjusted to the Institute’s support needs building ISM’s competencies towards its participation in future FP7 collaborative research activities; d) deploy a set of diversified twinning activities, to significantly increase ISM’s networking level facilitate the exchange of knowledge and good practices and, thus, prepare the ground for setting Joint Research Plans with EU leading research centres; e) support the implementation of joint research activities between ISM and leading EU research centres in the field of Superhard Materials; and f) facilitate the exchange of research staff between ISM and EU research centres, enabling them to carry out joint experiments and, thus, setting the foundations for long-term collaboration. START will be coordinated by ISM, which is the targeted leading research institute of Ukraine in the field of Superhard Materials, and mobilise a multi-disciplinary consortium of 4 partners (1 from Ukraine and 3 from EU countries), while its duration will be 30 months.'

Introduzione (Teaser)

An EU-funded project focused on creating opportunities for scientists in Ukraine to collaborate with EU research centres. The exchange of expertise and technology has provided a productive environment for addressing key areas of superhard materials research and applications.

Descrizione progetto (Article)

The V.N. Bakul Institute for Superhard Materials (ISM) of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine is a leading research institute in the field. Through the http://www.start.ism.kiev.ua/ (START) (Boosting EU-Ukraine cooperation in the field of superhard materials) project, ISM became a flagship institute in terms of international cooperation for the broader Eastern Europe region.

A major project aim was to strengthen the position and visibility of ISM. To achieve this, a medium- to long-term research strategy was developed based on existing research competencies. The implementation of joint research activities between ISM and leading EU research centres was a significant step towards continuing to respond to areas of research focus.

A variety of training activities was organised to support skills and knowledge development in view of ISM's involvement in EU-funded research projects. Furthermore, twinning activities, including delegation tours and the participation of ISM scientists at international conferences, helped increase the Institute's visibility among world-leading research actors.

The START project laid the foundation for better integration of ISM into the European Research Area (ERA). In particular, its research work in superhard materials science was boosted, which will also help stimulate collaborations with other laboratories in Eastern Europe beyond the project's lifetime.
