The execution of the project enhanced the efficiency of ITT in research fund raising. More than 50 projects financed by the industry and 14 major projects financed by various national funding agencies have been executed. The total budget of these projects reached EUR 3M. Additional grants for enhancing the infrastructure resulted in construction of a new research laboratory and purchasing equipment .Along with the activities on national level nine international projects have been filed. Three of the applications were successful, four are under review.Project Context and Objectives:Project contextThe thrust of the project was on research capacity building, with the focus on training and networking and aim of better integration of the beneficiary, the Institute of Thermal Technology (ITT) into the ERA. Simultaneously, the links with the local and international industry as well as the local administration have been strengthen, to better serve the needs of the region and the country. Research played an auxiliary, but important role in the project. The philosophy behind the work plan was, that the research work, not directly supported by the project, plays a role of an integrating factor for training, know-how transfer, recruitment and dissemination activities.The activities of the project were gathered in two groups of work packages:- Aimed at capacity building by staff training- Management and disseminationThe first group consisted of three strongly interconnected work packages:- Economic, first and second law analysis of large energy systems- Technologies for clean energy generation- Advanced computer simulation techniques in energy sectorThe first package was aimed at analysis of energy related processes on the most general level. Here the selection of the optimal technology, its impact on environment and mutual interactions between units described by coarse models were considered. The second, intermediate, level deals with the development of selected technologies that will play an important role in the future energy technologies in Poland and Europe. The third, most detailed work package concentrates on subtle techniques of simulating technological processes arising at upper levels.The second group consists of two work packages:- Dissemination, promotion, development of innovation policy- Coordination and managementThe research-based work packages contained an intensive two direction staff exchange component, organization of seminars, conferences and participation in international conferences. An important constituent of these packages was the cooperation with the industry. Additionally, the first work package aimed at cooperation with the energy and ecology policy makers at local and national level.The idea behind such a composition of the work plan was that a successful collaboration should be based on concrete, common research interest. Such an approach disclosed the areas of expertise of involved partners, which makes the future joint application for research funding much easier and safer. The transfer of knowledge in the first three work packages between ITT and partner institutions had been nearly symmetric.Partner institutions, steering committeeProject executed within the REGPOT scheme have only one beneficiary, in the case of the RECENT project this is ITT.

Better integration of ITT in ERAThis goal has been achieved by the development of the human potential of ITT. The crucial tool within these activities was the networking with the partner institutions. In the course of the project execution, the number of institutions collaborating in the project has been extended. Norwegian research center SITEF, University of Stuttgart, Instituto Motori in Naples and Rolls Royce contributed to the project execution. The networking has been formally confirmed by signing twinning agreements. However, the most important component of networking is the established personal links between the ITT staff and their European counterparts.The complementary character of the research profiles of the partner institutions and ITT resulted in the best possible scenario of collaboration between research entities i.e. the win-win situation. The bi-directional exchange of know how between ITT and partner institutions produced sustainable links.All partners have a long record of participation in European, international and national research funding schemes. VTT and CIRCE belong to the leading European players in this field. Similarly, Leeds and Florence are very successful in this area, though their focus is more oriented towards the national research program. Close contacts with these entities did already result in several joint applications for EC and other international projects.The dual degree agreements and already filed projects will generate an exchange of junior staff between ITT and the partners. The agreed double PhD scheme require by the involved entities to define a research topic, which is of equal interest to both partners. This will contribute to tightening the research links between ITT and the partners.The students participating in Erasmus exchange program are natural candidates for writing a dual PhD thesis. The already existing MSc students exchange will be continued and intensified.2. Upgrading the RTD capacity and capabilitySeveral measures aimed at the enhancement of the infrastructure, human potential and the quality of research had been implemented. The applied multi-faceted approach already produced a sustainable effect of upgraded capacity and capability of the Institute.The dominant role in these activities should be attributed to the intensive training and academic mobility program. Specifically, the secondments and employing new researchers contributed to the success of the capacity building of ITT research personnel. Six one-year fellowships of top junior researchers proved be a very efficient mean of using their research potential. All seconded ITT employees significantly enhanced their track record, published numerous papers, maintained international networking and come much closer to finishing their DSc (habilitation). In the Polish system, defending the habilitation is the necessary condition to apply for a permanent academic position.The four members of the staff employed by RECENT, produced a similar result. Each member of this group published numerous papers and made a substantial progress in his DSc theses. After the project came to an end, all researchers employed by the RECENT project had successfully applied for a position at ITT. Along with the enhanced networking ability of both groups of researchers, the efficiency of these measures can be attributed to the low administration and teaching load of the researchers. The outcome of these staff training scheme is, that after finishing the RECENT project a very strong group of ten top young researchers has emerged at ITT. Such a strong team produces a critical mass of excellence and contributes greatly to the sustainability of the results of the project. Numerous awards received by these researchers confirm this statement.The remaining staff of ITT did also benefit from the training program. Taking part in numerous missions, whose aims have been defined to fit individual needs, attending workshops, conferences and seminars, contact with renowned experts, participation in conferences greatly enhanced everybody's know-how and networking ability.Another gain that should be mentioned is opening new research directions as bioengineering, aerospace, turbulence etc. This development has emerged mainly due to the program of inviting external experts. The set of twelve top researchers each staying at ITT for a week, resulted in a shortcut to the frontier research in selected areas of modern technology and science.The quality of management of ITT has been improved not only directly, through participation in workshops and external training program but also due to contacts with the leading academic centers involved in the project.Upgrading of the research infrastructure played an important role in the strategic concept of the project. The main source of financing the enhancement of the research infrastructure are the cohesion funds, own ITT resources and annual grants awarded by Polish Ministry of Research and Higher Education.Additional financing within this project served the purpose of complementing the existing infrastructure. However, the rapid access to the unique equipment purchased from the RECENT grant speeded up some research directions, specifically the inverse analysis and validation of CFD results.The training and upgraded equipment provided within the RECENT project opened to ITT staff new areas of cutting edge research in energy. The know-how acquired in the course of the project execution had greatly improved the ability of ITT to become a valuable member of a FP7 and other international project consortia. The results of the project are nine applications for international project, three of which proved already to be successful, while four are under evaluation. Parallel to the international project, ITT could raise substantial research funds from national and industrial sources.One of the criteria of selecting partners in RECENT was their experience in participating in Framework Programmes. The reason for such strategy was that progress in energy research requires investment of substantial financial resources. This in turn, can be managed by a large consortium, whose coordination can be efficiently executed only by an experience entity. All partner institutions especially VTT and CIRCE are natural candidates for a coordinator of such consortia. The enhancement of the research potential of ITT along with the links established by joint execution of this project made ITT a valuable member of such research teams.3. Improved research capacity for increased contribution to regional developmentThe European dimension, though dominant in the strategic concept of the project, should not overshadow the local component of the project. ITT is a strong research and higher education entity located in Upper Silesia, one of the most industrialized and rapidly developing regions of Poland and Europe. As such, ITT exploits its research potential to contribute to the regional development. Instrumental in these activities is the knowledge and experience existing in other regions of Europe. This knowledge has been acquired by ITT staff in the course of the execution of the project.To respond to the needs of the region, the research area addressed in RECENT have been focused on various aspects of energy technology. The coal and power generation sector still dominates in Upper Silesia. This branch of the local economy will be a source of economic growth of the region in the nearest decade or so. Specifically, the great number of power plants and the need of a complete reconstruction of this sector is a factor that makes the energy research so attractive to the society. The historically determined heavy pollution of the region makes the reduction of the emission a crucial question. New, clean coal technologies that need to be introduced, with special stress on carbon reduction measures, make the know-how on biomass, CCS and IGSS very valuable. Much stress in the RECENT project has been therefore put on the development of the research in clean coal technologies. Successful application for a FP7 project aimed at new generation of oxycombustion technology is just one of the outcomes of this policy.It should be stressed that ITT had already established strong links to the local industry. The extension of the research interest to life cycle and system analysis, reduced carbon technologies and advanced simulation had adjusted the research offer of the Institute to the needs of region and the emerging knowledge based economy. The high quality of the research offered to the industrial partners and the existing personal links, have been strengthen as a result of the execution of the project.Upper Silesia industry is currently undergoing a process of serious remodeling. The presence of the advanced technologies in car and aircraft industry opens a new field of interaction of ITT with its local environment. The simulation package (WP3) of the workplan served the purpose of supporting this sector of economy. The experience of Florence, Leeds and new partners Instituto Motori in Naples, Stuttgart University and Rolls Royce is very valuable in this context.The project addressed also the question of collaboration with the local government in defining and execution an optimal eco-energy policy. The successes of the seminars devoted to this problem and aimed at the officers of the local government, direct contacts with regional and municipal governments brings ITT closer to the goal of being a serious partner of the energy policy makers.Spreading excellence, exploiting results, disseminating knowledgeITT is a strong and experienced R&D unit with very good and long lasting contacts to relevant industry and economy sectors in the region, nationwide and in Europe. As such, the Institute is an ideal candidate to spread excellence, disseminate knowledge and implement the results of the project.4. Dissemination knowledge and exploiting the resultsBy their nature, visibility and dissemination are crucial components of projects focusing on research capacity building, networking and developing links with the industry and local government. To attract best young researches and recruit senior staff with significant achievements, much effort have been devoted to shape and publicize the image of ITT as a strong, reliable R&D institution with wide spectrum of competences. Some implemented measures of dissemination are listed below. Similar activities will be continued in the future.i. Setting up a webpage of the project embedded in the existing web page of the Institute. The webpage of the project has been established at the very start of the project. It has been designed by professional artists and written in Joomla content management system (CMC). It can readily be maintained by users, as the edition of the page can be made directly via internet browser. The address of the page is http://www.itc.polsl.pl/recent The web page has been maintained and updated within the entire life cycle of the project. It will not be deleted after the project end. All webpages and posters of conferences, workshops etc. organized within the RECENT project base on same graphical template stressing the common roots of all events.ii. Issue a bulletin of the project by the end of each reporting period. The bulletin describes the basic facts and achievements of the project. iii. Publishing a booklet on ITT (two editions). The full electronic version is attached to the report.iv. Mass media and other means of public communication. Each event organized by ITT both within the project and on other occasions has been preceded by a short review of the RECENT project. v. Producing gadgets with ITT logo (booklets, bulletins and gadgets to be distributed at various occasions). Various gadgets (ballpoints, flash memories, booklets etc.) have been commissioned. Unified graphical design of various materials has been developed (web page, covers of conference materials, badges for the seminars and meetings etc). Regular information posters and a roll-off poster have been designed and printed.vi. WATER and HEAT 2012 Fair.
