This section is dedicated for all our national projects which are R&D oriented, won in different national competitions and programs in order to promote technological innovation and at the same time it involves high-risk research projects that address critical national  and european needs. It is expected to enable better, more cost-effective use of advanced materials in innovative products. New and improved materials underlie many new product innovations. High-strength alloys, aluminum and magnesium are used to build stronger, lighter and safer vehicles; superalloys are used to make higher efficiency gas turbines; composites make larger, more efficient wind turbine blades and higher performance aircraft; and nanomaterials are finding their way into better performing batteries, energy storage devices, high voltage transmission lines and healthcare applications.
