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)
