The CEZAMAT Centre for Advanced Materials and Technologies was created in order to develop interdisciplinary research into new materials and technologies and to disseminate knowledge about them. CEZAMAT provides a unique scientific and research platform for  projects which combine the experiences of various universities and scientific institutions. The project envisages the creation of a central laboratory and 4 other laboratories which would be equipped with the state of the art equipment needed for the development of science and the implementation of technological solutions for the economy. The state of the art infrastructure of the CEZAMAT laboratories will be available to Polish and foreign scientific institutions and – in future – to commercial institutions and business as well.

The total cost of the project will amount to PLN 385.1 m. The CEZAMAT project is one of the largest scientific and research investments in Poland co-financed by EU funds  under the Operational Programme “Innovative Economy”.

The main beneficiary and Coordinator of the project is Warsaw University of Technology. The Project Consortium comprises scientists from leading technical universities and institutes in Poland:

• Institute of Physical Chemistry Polish Academy of Sciences

• Institute of Physics Polish Academy of Sciences

• Institute of Fundamental Technological Research Polish Academy of Sciences

• Institute of Electronic Materials Technology

• Institute of High Pressure Polish Academy of Sciences

• Warsaw University of Technology

• University of Warsaw

• Military University of Technology

The Central Laboratory of CEZAMAT will be placed at the Southern Campus of Warsaw University of Technology in the ultra-modern eight-storey building. It will house research laboratories equipped with state of the art equipment allowing the fabrication, observation and measurement of materials and objects at the single atom level. The sensitivity of the research being conducted and the possibility of contamination is addressed by creation of cleanrooms to prevent the introduction, creation and accumulation of contaminants. The research conducted in this environment will involve nanotechnology, nanoelectronics, nanophotonics, microsystems and biotechnology.

The implementation of the CEZAMAT project at the Military University of Technology will enhance, the capacity of the advanced laser nanotechnologies laboratory. An advanced spectroscopic and magnetical properties characterization laboratory will be created at Warsaw University's Institute of Applied Physics, while the Institute of High Pressure at the Polish Academy of Sciences will house nitrides quantum structures and their advanced characterization techniques laboratory. In addition, the Institute of Electronic Materials Technology will equip a precision chromium masks and micro-optical diffraction structures fabrication laboratory.

Research platforms of central laboratory accompanied by 4 supporting laboratories will create an unique possibility to perform research at the following 4 levels: basic research, application oriented research, prototyping and application in the production. The CEZAMAT project aims to deliver new quality and attitude in conducting research - the supply driven attitude will be exchanged with the attitude driven by the external forces. Basic research level is intended to be driven by economy development forecasts, whereas the remaining three levels will be driven by concrete demand and cooperation with the economic environment interested in market implementation of solutions developed. The results of the work carried out by the CEZAMAT are foreseen to be utilized in many areas of industry – electronics, telecommunications, transport and healthcare.
