The CAMART² project has made significant strides over its eight-year journey, investing over EUR 30 million to enhance the Centre of Excellence in Advanced Material Research and Technology. This initiative has bolstered research infrastructure, developed team expertise, and established partnerships focused on innovation, ultimately improving the commercialization of new materials and technologies.
As the project concludes, we reflect on its impact; this time, the leading expert in semiconductors from RISE, Professor Qin Wang, shares her experience with the CAMART2 project and collaboration with researchers from ISSP UL.
Her story highlights the importance of interdisciplinary partnerships in accelerating scientific breakthroughs. She emphasizes that the key to the project's success has been consistent communication and understanding of cultural differences among collaborating teams, fostering a strong sense of unity between institutes. The establishment of a joint technology platform has further facilitated innovation, particularly in applied materials physics. The collaboration has also enabled reciprocal access to advanced research facilities, enhancing capabilities for both RISE and ISSP UL. Looking ahead, Professor Wang is optimistic about future projects, including quantum computing, illustrating how strong research relationships can drive significant scientific advancements and shape technological progress.
