Core Program 2016-2017

Core Program name:

Advanced research on laser - plasma - radiation - space domain

Acronym: LAPLAS IV
Contract number: 4N/2016
Contracting Authority: National Authority for Scientific Research and Innovation, NASRI
Contractor: National Research and Development Institute for Laser, Plasma and Radiation Physics, INFLPR

The goal of the program: The LAPLAS IV program aims to conduct fundamental and applicative research in priority areas established by SNCDI 2014-2020 (eco-nano-technologies and advanced materials, space and security, health), in the areas of competence of INFLPR, in order to ensure an increased competivity of the Romanian economy through innovation, the increase of the Romanian contribution to the progress of knowledge and of the role of science in solving society problems.

Program duration: 2016-2017

Program objectives:

  1. Objective 1 INFLPR: “Advanced research using lasers, plasma and radiations dedicated to priority domains of the intelligent specialization and public interest areas”
