Despite being established only for a few years, the research centre benefits from the expertise that its team members gained through participation in numerous national and international projects as academic staff of the “Politehnica” University of Bucharest. Thus, the members of the centre have already participated in recent calls for proposals and succeeded in research projects, some of them briefly described in the following lines. Other project proposals are currently under evaluation and/or in preparation for national and international calls.
