Three MVI Institutions are partners of ENSEMBLE3 Teaming for Excellence project

The ENSEMBLE3 Teaming for Excellence project is starting on 1st of October. The goal of the ENSEMBLE3 project is to create a new Centre of excellence for nanophotonics, advanced materials and crystal growth-based technologies. This ambitious venture will be possible due to funds from the Teaming for Excellence European Commission programme H2020 and the International Research Agenda Programme of Foundation for Polish Science. Joint funding secured for Centre’s establishment is roughly 30 million EUR.

The project consortium includes leading Polish institutions – Lukasiewicz Research Network Institute of Electronic Materials Technology (ITME), the University of Warsaw (UW), and the National Centre for Research and Development, and advanced renowned partners - the Sapienza University of Rome (Italy), the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (Germany), and the Cooperative Research Center nanoGUNE Consolider (Spain). Most of the project partners are the members of Metamorphose VI. 

During the Research and Innovation days in Brussels, on September 24th a symbolic Signature Ceremony of the ENSEMBLE3 Teaming for Excellence project took place. ENSEMBLE3 was represented by the project coordinator prof. Dorota A. Pawlak (ITME and UW), and Prof. Jose M. Pitarke – director of NanoGUNE in Spain. During Signature Ceremony prof. Dorota A. Pawlak and Mr. Jean-Eric Paquet, Director-General – Directorate “Research and Innovation” (RTD) co-signed the project (Twitter: @JEPaquetEU)

In addition, during the conference session 'Bridging, Widening, Sharing: let's Advance Europe together' dedicated to the importance of exploiting pockets of excellence wherever they emerge and the key role of all stakeholders to advancing R&I in Europe, the representatives of the Teaming projects were called on stage and greeted by Carlos Moedas,Commissioner for Research and Innovation (Twitter @Moedas)

Prof. Zheludev elected as new Foreign Member of National Academy of Engineering (NAE)

In recognition of the leadership and technical contributions to optical metamaterials and nanophotonics, Prof. Zheludev has been elected as a Foreign Member of the United States National Academy of Engineering.

Election to the National Academy of Engineering is among the highest professional distinctions accorded to an engineer. Academy membership honors those who have made outstanding contributions to "engineering research, practice, or education, including, where appropriate, significant contributions to the engineering literature" and to "the pioneering of new and developing fields of technology, making major advancements in traditional fields of engineering, or developing/implementing innovative approaches to engineering education."

Individuals in the newly elected class will be formally inducted during a ceremony at the NAE's annual meeting in Washington, D.C., on Oct. 6, 2019.
