Functional Materials confrerence 2022

On October 25, 2022, in cooperation with the Society for New Materials and Technologies, we hosted the international conference Functional Materials 2022.
The conference was focused on the following areas: functional materials, modification of material properties, structural analysis, physical properties, production, recycling, sustainability, industrial applications, and the exchange of the latest knowledge in these areas. The goal of the conference was also to create conditions for deepening existing and establishing new professional contacts and opportunities for cooperation.
As part of the program, presented international experts such as Professor Günther Rupprechter and Dr. Niusha Lasemi from Austria, Dr. Sonja Jozič and Dr. Nikša from Croatia or Dr. Przemysław Ranachowski from Poland. Dr. Jaroslav Jerz and Dr. Karol Iždinský from IMSAS  informed us about project SHARE 4.0 – Create synergies in the region SK – AT by sharing best practices and awareness of innovative technologies to advance digitalized manufacturing (www.projectshare40.com)  and FIT-4-NMP project - support for increased participation in Horizon Europe calls (www.fit-4-nmp.eu).
The guests also had the opportunity to look into our "kitchen", they visited our excellent laboratories and saw the work of our colleagues in practice. Our doctoral student Ing. Lucia Kopčanová presented the topic of her doctoral dissertation entitled Research on the influence of changing the distribution of the dual laser beam on the resulting properties of duplex steel welds, which is also a new APVV project.
