Boosting the scientific excellence and innovation capacity in spintronics of the D. GHITU Institute of Electronic Engineering and Nanotechnologies of the Academy of Science of Moldova

Project description

Spintronics and superconductivity innovation flows freely in Moldova

Spintronics has tremendous potential to enable advanced optoelectronics and high-speed, low-power and high-density logic and memory devices. Combining superconductivity with spintronics creates phenomena that would not otherwise exist, and superconducting spin valves are an important emerging application. Spin valves consist of layered conducting magnetic materials whose electrical resistance can change between two values depending on the relative alignment of the magnetisation in the layers. The EU-funded SPINTECH project will strengthen research and innovation at the Ghitu Institute of Electronic Engineering and Nanotechnologies, Academy of Science in Moldova in superconducting spin valves through twinning with world-class groups at Stockholm University in Sweden and the University of Twente in the Netherlands.

Objective

The overall aim of the SPIN-TECH project is to boost the scientific excellence and innovation capacity in the field of spintronics – especially in the development of advanced technology for design and production of superconducting spin-valves – of the D. GHITU Institute of Electronic Engineering and Nanotechnologies of the Academy of Science of Moldova and its high-experienced Twinning partners: Stockholm University (Sweden) and University of Twente (The Netherlands). To achieve this aim during the 3 years of the project,, the partners will implement a research and innovation strategy with the following objectives:
• Objective 1: Strengthen D. GHITU IE’s research excellence in spintronics
• Objective 2: Enhance the research and innovation capacity of D. GHITU IE and the Twinning partners
• Objective 3: Raise the research profile of D. GHITU IE and the Twinning Partners
• Objective 4: Contribute to the research and innovation priorities of Moldova
• Objective 5: Support research and innovation on a European level
In order to achieve these objectives, the consortium partners will put into practice a comprehensive set of measures via the project’s work packages, which will include (i) short term staff exchanges (WP1); (ii) training workshops, conferences and summer schools (WP2); and (iii) dissemination and outreach activities (WP3)
