A team of scientists from Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University has received a grant from the European Commission HORIZON-INFRA-2023-EOSC-01-01 – Build on the science cluster approach to ensure the uptake of EOSC by research infrastructures and research communities within the framework of the OSCARS initiative – Open Science Cluster Action for Research & Society (coordinator Volodymyr Kotsiubynskyi, Head of the Department of Materials Science and New Technologies).
The project will result in the creation of the Advanced Materials Open Science Centre (PNU-OpenLab). The Centre will become a part of the university’s research infrastructure and an element of the ecosystem, which will include PNU-NanoLab (Nanotechnology Laboratory for Materials Science, Energy and Medicine) and PNU-FabLab (Prototyping, 3D Printing, and Design Laboratory).
The main tasks of the Centre will be to consolidate the research activities of Ukrainian scientists in the field of obtaining, researching, and technological implementation of new materials (including nanomaterials) following the principles of Open Science (access to full-text databases of scientific and technical information, scientific literature, and experimental data).
