MELON Consortium
UNIVERSITY of PICARDIE, France (UPJV)
UPJV is a young developing University, located in the French province of Picardie, strongly supported by EC regional development program. The integration into the European environment is the priority of the University. Principal expertise of the Laboratory of the Condensed Matter Physics (LPMC) in MELON is the physics of nano-structured ferroelectrics. The experimental activity is also strongly supported by the Laboratory of the Crystallography and Material Science, CRISMAT. The theory group provides modeling of epitaxial films, superlattices and nanoparticles of multifunctional materials for potential application purposes. The contribution of UPJV to MELON is ...

CONSEJO NACIONAL DE INVESTIGACIONES CIENTÍFICAS, Argentina (CONICET)
CONICET is the largest research agency in Argentina, which employs more than 10.000 staff researchers and 11.000 fellows. CONICET research activities include anatural and social sciences. CNEA/CONICET hosts the Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (INN) which has geographic poles in Buenos Aires and Bariloche. INN brings together over 200 researchers including 40 leading investigators based across multiple disciplines including Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Engineering. The Institute of Physics Rosario (IFIR) is a unit of CONICET and the Rosario's National University (UNR) conducts research and developments in physics. The Institute was created in 1980 and is currently organized into four divisions: Materials Science and Technology, Condensed Matter, Theoretical Physics, and Applied Physics. The contribution of CONICET to MELON is...
The Department of Nanotechnologies is located in Southern Federal University, SFEDU, which is a modern research university with an emphasis on innovations and entrepreneurship traces its history back to 1915... In its academic activities it combines studies with fundamental and applied science, as well as cutting-edge technologies and innovative approaches. Although the University’s position in the national university rankings provides persuasive evidence to its achievements, a positive image and a passion for excellence, this university is not clearly visible on the international and European level. Participation in the MELON consortium will substantially amplify the international links of the Department of Nanotechnologies, and the exchange of ESRs and MSc students not only with MELON partners but also with the wide network of other European Universities. The external collaboration tools, such as ERASMUS+ program and national foundations will be used for this
NANOTUL is a company for the development and production of new materials for technologies in the fields of lubricants, sensors, composite materials, and catalysis. The main area of work is the development, synthesis, and commercialization of new nanomaterials based on transition metals, which have been developed by inventors, who are founders of the NANOTUL. As a Spin-off of Jozef Stefan Institute, NANOTUL performs also activities in research and development and participates in education. The contribution of NANOTUL to MELON is...
