Project description
An innovative light and matter combination unleashes unprecedented potential
Terahertz (THz) photonics technologies exploit the electromagnetic frequency range between microwave and infrared, a range that penetrates fabric and plastic. They are garnering widespread interest for applications in fields including non-destructive testing, biomedicine, telecommunications and security and defence. The EU-funded DiSeTCom project will develop novel THz photonics components based on one of the most exciting new classes of 2D nanomaterials around, 2D Dirac semimetals including graphene. These materials are themselves attracting attention for their fascinating electronic and optoelectronic properties and easy integration with existing technologies. The winning combination promises unprecedented performance.
Objective
Dear Madam/Sir,
I would like to inform you on behalf of my consortium of the amendment of the above-mentioned project, for the following reason(s):
Unfortunately, the massive disruption of the international travel due to COVID-19 and strict restrictions on the international travel imposed by the countries and organizations involved have essentially affected the implementation of the DiSeTCom project in terms of secondments. This had resulted in the suspending of the project for 249 days and reshuffling of the exchange schedule, which has become hardly bearable in terms of the manpower of the project partners.
In order to fulfill the project obligations in terms of the researchers exchange we propose to boost the project manpower by adding the following beneficiaries:
University of Exeter, UK (UNEXE), PIC 999864555 (academic organization),
MaxLLG Ltd, UK (MAXLLG), PIC 893920961 (SME)
NARRANDO SRL, IT (NARRANDO), PIC 917345685 (SME)
Involving two SMEs we allow us to enhance the exploitation potential of the DiSetCom, while an extensive expertise of UNEXE in the electromagnetic theory of 2D materials and heterostructures is to complement the INPBSU and ToV expertise.
The organizations above have well-established research collaboration with DiSetCom teams, they have been involved in RISE projects earlier and their research facilities are complementary with those currently available for the consortium and will allow them to effectively contribute to the implementation of the WP2, WP3 and WP5. The implementation of the amendment involves changes in the Annex 1 (Parts A and B) hereby updated accordingly.
By this letter we request an amendment for adding UNEXE, MAXLLG and NARRANDO to the consortium indicatively from 01.11.2021.
Modification of Annex 1 and Annex 2
Minor changes in the Gantt chart were introduced:
+2 PM to UEF (FI), - 4 PM for TERAVIL (LT), -1 PM for UNISA (IT),+ 1PM to FTMC (5LT), - 2 PM for UNITOV (IT), - 10 for Nuclear Problems of Belarussian State University.
As for the newcomers: 17 PM go to UNEXE (UK), 17 PM go to MaxLLG Ltd (UK) and 12 PM go to NARRANDO Srl (IT).
There is no change to the total EU contribution.
Yours faithfully
Yuri Svirko

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
