First meeting of the International scientific council of the AMULET project

On Monday 18 November 2024, the first meeting of the International Scientific Council of the AMULET project took place, chaired by Professor Yukiko Yamada Takamura from the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST).

The meeting provided an opportunity for the project leaders to present the results of their work so far. These presentations were then subjected to discussion and expert feedback from international experts. Board members expressed their satisfaction with the results achieved during the first year of the project: „The ISAB particularly values the consortium's remarkable breadth of research topics and the outstanding synergy among them.“

The aim of this project is to develop advanced, so-called multiscale materials with a wide application potential. Experts investigate how multiscale materials interact with the biological environment, whether they can be used for electrochemical or optical sensors, in electro-photochemical catalysis for the removal of pollutants from air and water and, last but not least, they will test new nano/micro-devices for energy conversion, production and storage.

Eight partners cooperate in the AMULET (Advanced MUltiscaLe materials for key Enabling Technologies) project. The coordinator is the J. Heyrovsky Institute of Physical Chemistry of the CAS; and other members of the consortium involve the Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry of the CAS, the Faculty of Science of Jan Evangelista Purkyně University in Ústí nad Labem, the Institute of Photonics and Electronics of the CAS, the Institute of Physics of the CAS, the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics and the Faculty of Science of Charles University, the Nuclear Physics Institute of the CAS and the University of Chemistry and Technology in Prague.
