8. Activity and Achievements During three years of its activity the CoE AMAS has executed the planned education and training programme by organizing a number of short-term advanced courses, specialized workshops, inviting outstanding foreign scientists to deliver intensive courses included in the programme of doctoral studies at IPPT.

9. Impact on scientific integration Due to CoE AMAS inspiration, the home Institute (IPPT) : • is the coordinator of a 6FP Network of Excellence project retained for negotiation after the second stage positive evaluation by EC. • coordinates the International Scientific Network on Advanced Materials and Structures • is a coordinator or partner in over 10 projects of different type instruments of 6FP submitted in the AMAS research area

10. Institute of Fundamental Technological Research • Centre of Excellence Applied Biomedical Modelling and Diagnostics (ABIOMED) – Prof. J.J. Telega • multi-disciplinary area of applied and theoretical modelling and designing in modern biomechanical and bioengineering research. • Centre of Excellence for Laser Processing and Material Advanced Testing (LAPROMAT) – Prof. L. Dietrich • innovative laser processing techniques, modern strength testing techniques.

12. Network of Excellence „Knowledge-based Multicomponent Materials for Durable and Safe Performance” (KMM-NoE) Coordinator organisation: Institute of Fundamental Technological Research PAS Coordinators: Prof. Wojciech K. Nowacki Prof. Krzysztof Doliński Prof. Michał Basista The Network of Excellence KMM-NoE is being proposed by 40 partners representing leading European research institutes, university departments, SMEs and industry - from 12 countries. Retained for negotiation after the second stage positive evaluation by EC.

13. Institute of Fundamental Technological Research • The primary goal of the proposed NoE is to create a coherent pan-European structure of key academic and research institutions, SMEs and large industrial partners in the field of knowledge-based multicomponent materials designed for safe and durable performance in highly demanding loading and environmental conditions: • complex thermo-mechanical loadings, • impact loading, • cyclic loading, • large deformations, • high strain rates, • high temperature regimes, • aggressive chemical environment and combinations thereof.

14. Institute of Fundamental Technological Research The representatives for such knowledge-based multicomponent materials are novel: ·functionally graded materialsinvolving knowledge-based grading of metal and ceramic constituents, ·thin layersof highly resistant materials deposited on the base materials to extend their performance limits, ·metal-ceramic composites designed to sustain complex thermo-mechanical loading or adverse physico-chemical environment, ·intermetallicsa new generation of low-density, high melting-point materials for multisectoral applications.
