Project funded by Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia, I.P. (FCT) (Concurso para Atribuição do Estatuto e Financiamento de Laboratórios Associados (LA)), grant LA/P/0095/2020. Funded amount: EUR 766,230, as stated by the source. Runs 2021-01-01 to 2025-12-31. Keywords: Physics of Quantum Materials and Technologies, Advanced Materials for Energy, New Materials/Processes for Health and Environment, Physics and Technology of Sensing, Exact and natural sciences. Source: OpenAIRE Graph, from the funder's project data (collected by OpenAIRE on 2026-07-23); national funding data, not CORDIS; selected because its keywords name quantum. Abstract given by the source: The implementation of the Laboratory of Physics for Materials and Emergent Technologies (LaPMET) creates new far reaching opportunities and synergies for the involved partners, providing a unique networking environment in our country for a transversal approach in the field of Physics of Materials for Emergent Technologies. LaPMET offers unique expertise in Quantum materials and Quantum Technologies, Advanced materials, processes and technologies, for energy, health and environment, as well as new technologies for sensing, grounded in the vast experience of the partners, recently recognized under the research units evaluation process. The associated Laboratory Mission is, using Physics and Material science insight, to enhance scientific knowledge in the fields of Quantum materials, Quantum communications, photonics, nanoscience and nanotechnology, performing research, advanced training and services to the scientific community and industry. LaPMET VISION stands as an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary laboratory of excellence with high international impact on research and innovation, maintaining active exchange programs with research centres, universities, industry and other worldwide facilities, creating value for the society, warranting the institution long-term Sustainability, and ensuring own scientific and technical careers for its researchers. LaPMET structured its intervention in four main thematic lines which are the driving vectors for excellent scientific research, for which Emergent new Technologies are foreseen, namely: 1) Quantum Materials and Quantum Technologies; 2) Advanced Materials and Processes for Energy; 3) Advanced Materials and Technologies for Health and Environment and 4) New principles and Technologies for Sensing. These areas were selected as the ones where obvious synergies exist that leverage new far reaching opportunities for international funding. The Associated Laboratory will promote high quality training programs in Portugal [shortened; the full text is on the OpenAIRE page]
