Final Report Summary - RP-DEMATEN (Reinforcement of research potential of the Department of Materials Engineering in the field of processing and characterisation of nanostructured materials)
The objectives of the project was the reinforcement of research potential of the DEMATEN at the FTUNS and strengthening partnerships among centres of excellence established in the EU's convergence region, the Member States and the Western Balkan Countries (WBC).
The major RP-DEMATEN objectives were to:
- Hire new young and experienced researchers;
- Improve networking and exchange know-how and experience by exchange of senior researchers;
- Provide training for our young researchers;
- Develop, launch and support information system through web site offering access to thematic and general information in the field of nanomaterials and nanotechnology;
- Disseminate written information in form of flyers, pamphlets etc.
- Upgrade and renew equipment necessary for successful development of nanomaterials and nanotechnology;
- Organise Conference, Workshops, and Training schools.
The RP-DEMATEN was very important for the reinforcement of research potential of the DEMATEN at the FTUNS and strengthening partnerships among the centers of excellence from the Europe. Even though we were late with beginning of the Project (the Grant Agreement was finally signed on August 5, 2008 by the European Commission while the official starting date of the Project was May 1, 2008) we have realised almost all of the proposed activities and used the budget very efficiently.

Thus, even though the plan for the mobility and training was demanding only a few visits were not realised, however a few additional training/visits were done.
The most important activities of WP 2 Dissemination of information were designing, updating and improving the web site, preparation of two flyers and a brochure, dissemination of information about the RP-DEMATEN project on TV programme, newspapers, international conferences, meetings etc.
According to WP 3 Strengthening of the human potential two young scientists (Jelena Pavlievi and Ivan Stijepovi) were hired already in the first Project year. I. Stijepoivc continued his work up to the end of the Project and considerably improved himself through training in the EU centres of excellence and training at the FTUNS supervised by professors from the DEMATEN, hired experienced senior scientists and visitors. J. Pavlievi finalised her Ph.D. thesis and was working up to 4th November 2010 and then left the Project due to attending UNESCO postgraduate course in Polymer Science, organised at the Institute of Macromolecular Science of Czech Academy of Science in Prague. The position was filled by a young researcher, Oskar Bera, from 1 November 2010. Experienced senior researchers from the IMCASCR (Dr. Milena ?pírková, Dr Adam Strachota and Dr. Jii Brus) were employed at the FTUNS for three months. In addition, at the position of experienced researcher coming back to the FTUNS instead of Mr. Ru?ica Djenadi two scientists were employed: i) Mr. Milan Nikoli, having Serbian citizenship (from 1st February 2010 up to the end of the Project) and ii) Dr Konstatinous Giannakopoulos, having Greek citizenship (for 3½ months in the second and third Project year). They all strongly reinforced human potential of the FTUNS and have provided stimulative climate for creative scientific activities by training of young scientists in the field of nanomaterials and nanotechnology.
The most important activities in the RP-DEMATEN Project in WP 4 Upgrading research capacities were purchasing, delivering and installation of Waters Gel Permeation Chromatograph and Malvern Zetasizer Nano ZS. In addition, it is important to underline that continuous training and a lot of measurements, closely connected with current research activities at the FTUNS, were done on the newly purchased equipment.
Within WP 5 Workshops and training schools two training schools and three workshops were organised. The first Training school "Microstructure and Fracture-Mechanical Properties of Nanostructured Materials" was held from 18th to 20th March 2009 at the Institute of Materials Research, Slovak Academy of Science, Koice, Slovakia. The second Training school "Characterisation of nanostructured materials" was held from 3rd to 6th December 2009 at the Faculty of Technology, University of Novi Sad, Serbia. The first Workshop (the Main conference) "Nanostructured Ceramics and Nanocomposites - Challenges and Perspectives" was held from 3rd to 6th December 2009 at the Faculty of Technology, University of Novi Sad, Serbia. The second Workshop "Structural and Functional Characterisation of Complex Materials" was held from 3rd to 5th of June 2010 in Ourinopoulo, Chalkidiki, Greece. The third Workshop "Processing of Nanostructured Ceramics and Nanocomposites" was held from 3rd till 5th March 2011 at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Brno University of Technology, Brno, Czech Republic.
Main tasks of management of the project are (WP6): detailed planning of technical work, deliverables, planning and organization of PMB Meetings, training school and workshops, detailed monitoring of technical progress, preparation of technical progress reports, setting deadlines, approving of time records and other steps in the field of administration. Six Project Management Board (PMB) meetings were organised:
1st PMB Meeting (the Kick-off Meeting), September 2008, Novi Sad, Serbia
2nd PMB Meeting, March 2009, Ko?ice, Slovakia
3rd PMB Meeting, December 2009, Novi Sad, Serbia
