National Institute for Research and Development of isotopic and Molecualr Technologies

EU Legislative Interests

Key EU legislative proposals and policies targeted include: European Green Deal – supporting climate neutrality through research in renewable energy, advanced materials, and environmental protection. Horizon Europe – aligning with its pillars on Excellent Science, Global Challenges, and Innovative Europe, particularly in clusters such as Climate, Energy, Digital, Industry, and Health. Fit for 55 package – contributing to emissions reduction targets via clean technologies and energy-efficient solutions. EU Industrial Strategy – advancing innovation in materials science, nanofabrication, and quantum technologies to strengthen European industrial competitiveness. Digital Europe Programme – supporting digital transformation, including quantum computing and advanced data-driven technologies. Farm to Fork Strategy – addressing food safety, traceability, and quality through isotope analysis and advanced analytical techniques. EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 – contributing to environmental monitoring and sustainable resource management. Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan – supporting theranostic research and innovation for improved diagnostics and treatments. Circular Economy Action Plan – promoting resource efficiency and sustainable materials development. Through alignment with these policies, INCDTIM ensures that its research outputs contribute directly to EU priorities, enhances its participation in collaborative projects, and maximizes its impact within Horizon Europe and related funding instruments.

Communication Activities

INCDTIM actively implements a diverse range of communication and dissemination activities to support and promote EU policies and programmes aligned with its research profile. These activities aim to increase visibility, foster stakeholder engagement, and ensure the uptake of research results in line with European priorities. Key communication activities include: Scientific Conferences and Workshops – Organization and participation in international and national events addressing topics linked to the Horizon Europe clusters (e.g., energy, health, digital, and environment). These events facilitate knowledge exchange, networking, and consortium building. Public Engagement Campaigns – Awareness campaigns and open days focused on sustainability, renewable energy, and environmental protection, supporting objectives of the European Green Deal and EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030. Scientific Publications and Policy Contributions – Dissemination of research results through peer-reviewed journals, white papers, and policy briefs aligned with initiatives such as the Circular Economy Action Plan and Fit for 55 package. Industry and Stakeholder Events – Brokerage events, technology transfer workshops, and innovation forums that support the EU Industrial Strategy by connecting research outcomes with industry needs. Training and Capacity Building Activities – Summer schools, training sessions, and researcher mobility programmes aligned with Horizon Europe and the Digital Europe Programme, particularly in emerging areas such as quantum technologies and advanced materials. Health and Food Safety Outreach – Workshops and dissemination campaigns supporting Farm to Fork Strategy and Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan, focusing on food authenticity, safety, and theranostic innovations. Digital Communication Channels – Active use of institutional websites, newsletters, and social media platforms to promote EU-funded projects, share results, and highlight contributions to EU priorities. Through these communication efforts, INCDTIM ensures effective dissemination of its research outcomes, strengthens collaboration with European partners, and enhances public awareness and stakeholder engagement in line with EU strategic objectives.
