2020 was the International Year of Sound, an area of high importance for science and technologies for all in modern society. Our team’s goal was to join the European Researchers’ Night event in Romania with this initiative, in order to emphasize both research activities and technological development mixed with sounds and music: DoReMi-RO. The intention […]

The PREPARE project, an acronym for “Horizon 2020 Support Center for European project management and European promotion”, was implemented by the National Institute for Research and Development for Optoelectronics (INOE 2000) between June 2020 and November 2023. Funded through the Competitiveness Operational Programme, the project had a total value of 2,990,133.47 lei, sourced from both

The support project ACTRIS IMP was funded by UEFISCDI under the “Supporting Participation in Horizon 2020” call (PN‑III‑CEI‑SUPORT‑PO‑2020), and was launched to follow up an earlier Horizon 2020 infrastructure grant (ACTRIS PPP). Its main goal was to help transition ACTRIS from a project-based network to a centralized pan‑European research infrastructure, in full alignment with the European ACTRIS RI

The PROBE Cost Action’s goal was to bridge the observational gap in observing the Atmospheric Boundary Layer (ABL), the layer of atmosphere closest to the Earth’s surface where we all live. The first step to achieving such a goal was defined as providing ABL profile observations of temperature, humidity, wind, aerosol, and clouds from various

This project, titled “QA4EO Atmospheric Composition Uncertainty Field Studies”, was designed to gather comprehensive datasets through a series of field campaigns in order to assess the uncertainty of satellite-based atmospheric composition products, in accordance with QA4EO guidelines. The primary objective was to provide high-quality, correlated data to validate products from missions such as the Sentinel-5

One of the most critical issues of urban air quality in Europe, particularly in Central and Eastern Europe, is the frequent incidence of high levels of particulate matter (PM₁₀/PM₂.₅). Direct links exist between exposure to high concentrations of particulate matter and cardiovascular and respiratory premature deaths, as well as increased sickness, such as childhood respiratory

The CONTUR project, an acronym for “Emerging technologies for counteracting the effects induced by turbulent flows of fluid media”, was a collaborative Romanian research initiative focused on tackling the challenges of turbulence. The project’s main goal was to develop innovative technologies for both detecting and mitigating the adverse effects of turbulent flows, with a strong

FRM4RADAR – 94 GHz Miniature Network for EarthCARE Reference Measurements was a project that aimed to deploy, operate, and utilize cloud radar data at two new sites — one in Sweden and one in Romania — in order to extend the geographical coverage of cloud observations in Europe towards the North and East. The project

HELENA – HERA LIDAR ENGINEERING MODEL ALTIMETER aimed to develop a lidar engineering model (EM) altimeter for current and future ESA AIM missions. The project was primarily focused on the development of an altimeter for the HERA mission. The HELENA design was based on a Laser Landing Altimeter Engineering Model developed by EFACEC, Portugal, within

DIVA – Demonstration of an Integrated approach for the Validation and exploitation of Atmospheric missions is setting-up of a pilot hub to collect, handle, archive, and exploit in a synergetic way observational data, as provided by the future integrated atmospheric composition ground-based network infrastructure, for the validation of ESA and Copernicus missions. Current advances in atmospheric
