Main Projects

We understand your requirement and provide quality works.

     Research on the development of advanced materials and multiscalar optimization by integrating nano-structured materials into advanced energy systems.

     The aim of the project is to facilitate the access of a group of companies interested in the development of high value-added products and services through the transfer of knowledge from research activity, to the advanced expertise of UOC-INSAE in the field of development of nano-structured materials and their integration in complex energy systems and access to existing facilities on the Institute’s HyRES research platform.

Optimal allocation of resources by structuring adaptive systems using linear analysis methods.

     The aim of the project is to develop an exploratory research plan that will facilitate the establishment of a decision support platform for the optimal allocation of resources in structured systems at different scales, to support a country’s efforts to achieve Sustainable Development goals. Multiscalar modeling identifies, examines and evaluates the possibilities of aggregating systems and systems in a hierarchical way. The activities will cover experimental and problem modeling aspects, in order to define models and algorithms for data processing.

EITRM

Research-development-innovation project with support measures to strengthen participation in the EIT Raw Materials.

The project will contribute to consolidating the competitive advantages of Ovidius University of Constanța in order to participate in projects under the auspices of EIT RawMaterials and other research, technological development and innovation programs in the field. Specifically, the development of scientific research capacity within the Institute for Nanotechnologies and Alternative Energy Sources refers to the field of advanced materials with selective permeability, composite materials for complex, multifunctional structural applications, strategic materials for fuel cells and materials for bio-electrochemical systems.

     The aim of the project is the development of a data center dedicated for high throughput, high performance computing, data storage and management for scientific research, Open Science, Open Innovation and Open Education.

    At the same time, there will be developed prototype applications integrating multiscale and multiphysical modeling, distributed databases and quantum computing & engineering.

STINGS – Supervision of Tailings by an Integrated Novel Approach to Combine Ground-based and Space-borne Sensor Data

     The project focuses on the use of satellite data combined with advanced modeling and in-situ measurements for the evaluation, monitoring and disaster prevention of tailings of mining exploitation for minimizing the environment impact and improving their resilience.

     A specific emphasis is given to the reduction of pollutants as particulate matters (PM2,5 and PM10) for improving the quality of air.

PORTIS – Port-Cities: Integrating Sustainability

The CIVITAS PORTIS project aims the development of a systemic approach for implementing innovative measures dedicated to promote sustainable mobility in port cities from design, demonstration, up to evaluation of the impact.

     The ambition of the project is to develop and implement a vision of sustainable mobility that can increase functional and social cohesion between city centers and the ports, whilst driving economic growth and improving the attractiveness of urban environments.     The main highlights of the project include the following:
Promoting renewable energy sources
Reducing the GHG emissions
Promoting smart cities technologies based on sustainable mobility
Empowering transport, mobility and air quality control using IT Tools for modeling and simulation generic cases
