NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT IN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING ICPE‑CA ANNUAL REPORT 2017 2017 | ANNUAL REPORT PAGE 1 2017 | ANNUAL REPORT PAGE 2 FOREWORD In 2017, the institute INCDIE ICPE-CA continued to be the same promoter of cutting edge technologies in the field of electrical engineering, with an upward trend in both scientific output and economic results. Regarding the main scientific directions approached, research on advanced materials as well as on the development of equipment that promote energy efficiency in the economic environment remained the key drivers for the institute development. These main directions have managed to attract higher levels of maturity in terms of human resources and technical endowment with specific equipment, thus INCDIE ICPE-CA becoming a reputable research center in the field of technical sciences in our country. During the year 2017, the institute promoted and carried out research projects under the PNCDI II component programs (e.g. “Partnerships in Priority Areas”) and PNCDI III (“Experimental Demonstration Projects”, “Innovation Checks”, “Solutions”, “Complex Projects under RDI Consortium”), STAR Projects (“RDI Space Technology Program - Advanced Research”), as well as “Extreme Light Infrastructure - Nuclear Physics” (ELI-NP) Program. Particularly important for our institute were the external collaborations with partners like GSI - Darmstadt (Germany), CERN (France), IPPI - Tehran (Iran), IKP - Jülich (Germany). Of all these external collaborations, I would like to highlight the collaboration agreement for the European Research Facility - FAIR, which aims at the development of electromagnets and specific driving sources for the particle accelerator in Darmstadt (Germany). Also, a very important collaboration was in the field of neutron physics and low-temperature electrical engineering with the Unified Institute for Nuclear Research - Dubna (The Russian Federation). The year 2017 also represented the start year for the three major projects of the Institute under the Competitiveness Operational Program - Action 1.2.3 - “Knowledge transfer partnerships”. For the first time, the activities of the three projects laid the foundations for collaborations with the private economic environment, which will be carried out within the framework of the subsidiary projects over the next years. Compared to the period 2010-2016, when INCDIE ICPE-CA has developed and extended the experimental research base, starting with 2017, more emphasis has been placed on refreshing human resources to meet the challenges of the Romanian research sector. Also, attracting young well-trained graduates for research activities remains a priority for the Institute’s management, thus ensuring continuity of research staff for the future. Taking into account the value of the microproduction represented by the products and services achieved in the institute, the total income reached in 2017 was 33,590,462 lei, thus leading to an increase of 17.5% of the revenues obtained in 2017. All of these achievements and actions have made INCDIE ICPE-CA a leader among Romanian research and technological institutes and centers in the field of technical sciences.

Brief presentation of INCDIE ICPE-CA 2.1. History By Government Decision no. 1282/2004 our organization has become the National Institute for Research and Development in Electrical Engineering ICPE‑CA Bucharest (INCDIE ICPE CA). With a long tradition of excellence and innovation in research and more than 160 employees, the institute enjoys prestige at national and international level, having collaborators from the economic environment through the services and products offered, based on international best practices. The institute offers technological solutions shaped to customer needs, based on a comprehensive portfolio of applications in electrical engineering, as well as a full range of designing services, characterization and testing of materials and products. Over the past 13 years as a national institute, ICPE‑CA was constantly involved in the development of RDI infrastructure, in enlarging of the multidisciplinary research area and focusing on the applicative research domain. An important place in the activity of ICPE‑CA is taken by the international projects since ICPE‑CA is an active participant in both the EU Programmes (Framework Program HORIZON 2020, Competitiveness Operationa Program 2014‑2020, Sectoral Operational Program “Enhancing Economic Competitiveness” 2008‑2014, FAIR Program ‑ Darmstadt ‑ Germany, CERN Program ‑ France, ESA Program, RDI Program for Space Technology and Advanced Research STAR 2012‑2019, ERA RO Program, Competitiveness and Inovation Framework Program), and programmes of territorial cooperation with other countries (Bilateral cooperation program with IUCN ‑ Dubna ‑ Russia and collaborative projects with the Islamic Republic of Iran, Joint Operational Programme for Cooperation in Black Sea Basin, Romania‑Bulgaria Cross Border Cooperation Programme). In addition, ICPE‑CA has a sustained activity under the Competitiveness Operational Program 2014‑2020, Priority Axis 1 ‑ Research, Technological Development and Innovation (RDI) in Support Brief presentation of Economic Competitiveness and Business Development, Action 1.2.3., Project type “ Partnerships for Knowledge Transfer “.
