CoE NOMATEN Director Foreword
The NOMATEN Center of Excellence was established in 2018 thanks to winning the H2020 Teaming for Excellence competition and the International Research Agenda of the Foundation for Polish Science. The Center has already passed the seed and start-up phases, and with established five independent, fully coherent groups, which are led by recognized and respected scientists, we are now entering a new chapter: growth. Our goal is to become an influential and meaningful bridge, particularly between smart specialization strategies and excellence in R&I, to strengthen the European Research Area and contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals. We aim to become a flagship institution in Poland, a game changer working on materials for harsh environments (particularly for fission and fusion reactors) and developing new radiopharmaceuticals for medical applications. These goals will be achieved via synergy among the groups, strategic vision on developing R&I excellence beyond the state of the art, and the help of advanced partners, CEA and VTT.

National Centre for Nuclear Research, Poland
The National Centre for NuclearResearch (NCBJ, Narodowe Centrum Badań Jądrowych) fundamental/applied research profile combines nuclear power-related studies with various fields of sub-atomic physics (elementary particle physics, nuclear physics, hot plasma physics etc.). The Centre is strongly involved in developing nuclear technologies and promoting practical applications of nuclear physics methods. Major market products manufactured in the Centre include radiopharmaceuticals and a range of particle accelerators for science, various industry sectors and medicine.
The Centre is an IT and R& D background infrastructure in dispensable to provide expert support for decision-makers in the project to develop in the coming years nuclear power industry in Poland. National Centre for Nuclear Researchis the largest research Institute in Poland. We are also the only Polish research institution operating a nuclear reactor (the MARIA reactor). Currently we are hiring over 1000 employees. Our research staff includes about 70 Professors and holders of the Dr hab. post-doctoral degree, as well as over 150 PhDs.
Commissariat à l’Énergie Atomique et aux Énergies Alternatives, France
The Atomic Energy and Alternative Energy Commission (CEA, Commissariat à l’Énergie Atomique et aux Énergies Alternatives), is a public establishment devoted to scientific, technical and industrial research and development, under the authority of the Ministries of Energy, Research, Industry and Defence. The CEA conducts a part of its research in the framework of the French nuclear deterrent programme. It also provides technology to strengthen security in the face of new hazards such as terrorism and cyber attack, and to upgrade response to earthquakes and tsunamis.
As a key player for energy research, the CEA mobilises its expertise and multidisciplinary competencies to propose innovative technological solutions to address major societal challenges, such as energy transition, nuclear and renewable energy, and understanding the mechanisms of climate change. The CEA follows a research strategy encompassing the whole energy system, focusing simultaneously on means of electrical power production, both nuclear and renewable (solar), improving energy efficiency and dynamic adjustment of supply and demand through energy storage (batteries), the use of hydrogen as an energy vector, or smart power grids.
The CEA serves France’s competitiveness by impelling the development of technology to meet the needs of research, industry and society, transferring knowledge, skills and technology to industry, and valorising research findings. In the health sector, the CEA is part of the considerable progress made in biology and genomics, and the advances in imaging technology and medical devices. The meshing of biotechnologies, nanotechnologies and IT is forming tomorrow’s healthcare. In pursuing its aims, the CEA is supported by dynamic fundamental research, both in-house and through its many partnerships with other research bodies, local authorities and universities. It is a stakeholder in national alliances coordinating French research in multiple domains. With expert status in its domains of competence, the CEA plays a full part in the European Research Area, and is increasingly active internationally.
