Project description

The benefits of electron beam precision technology

Advancements in precision engineering, manufacturing technologies and automation have laid the groundwork for developing critical tools and parts at even smaller and more accurate scales. Further efforts in this field could yield significant benefits. The EU-funded EBEAM project aims to establish a novel centre for electron beam precision manufacturing, focusing on harnessing electron beams to create new materials at the atomic level while advancing research and innovation in nanotechnology and related fields. To achieve this, the project has assembled an international research team and plans to implement key changes at VSB-TUO to enhance researcher support and potential.

Objective

The objective of project is establishment of a new excellent Centre for Electron Beam Precision Manufacturing (EBEAM Centre) with international research team led by an experienced researcher prof. M.H. Rmmeli - ERA chair, to help exploit the research potential of the use of electron-beams to fabricate and structure new materials at the atomistic level and to enhance performance in research, innovation and education in nanotechnology as well as energy and environmental technologies and visibility of VSB-TUO at international level. The project is also aimed on implementation of structural changes in research environment and science management at VSB-TUO initiated by ERA Chair, to develop a research environment that meets the highest international standard, and on support of young researchers who will strengthen their creative and innovative potential via their engagement in the project and make use of the international dimension of the project for gaining independence and career development. The EBEAM project will have regional and national impacts in terms of research, education, and technology according to Research and Innovation Smart Specialization strategy.
