RESEARCH AND INNOVATION IN ÉSZAK-ALFÖLD REGION INSTITUTE OF NUCLEAR RESEARCH OF THE HUNGARIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCES (ATOMKI) Address: Hungary, H-4026 Debrecen, Bem tér 18/c Telephone: +36 52 509 200 Director: Zsolt Fülöp ([email protected]) Website: www.atomki.hu Zsolt Fülöp Director of ATOMKI ATOMKI belongs to the research network of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and also has a contractual partnership with several institutes and universities, among them with the University of Debrecen, based on a long-standing cooperation in research and education. In the institute both fundamental and applied research are represented in the fields of particle physics, nuclear physics, atomic physics, material, earth and environmental sciences, archeology, medical and industrial technology. Besides research and teaching (training of students, diploma workers, PhD students and research fellows), ATOMKI shares in extended R&D activities through its laboratories, clusters and spin-off companies. Infrastructure and knowledge ATOMKI is a center of knowledge and expertise in atomic and nuclear physics and the application of their methods in material and environmental sciences. The Institute has 4 strategic infrastructures in the National Research Infrastructure Register, among others its Accelerator Centre. The wide range of international and domestic collaborations also demonstrates the competitiveness of the institute. ATOMKI’s main facilities and equipments: MGC 20E cyclotron accelerator Electron Spectrometer for Chemical Analysis 5 MV and 1 MV Van de Graaff accelerators Laboratory for Environmental Studies Electron Cyclotron Resonance Ion Source Radiochemical Laboratory Laboratory of Ion Beam Analysis SIMS/ SNMS Laboratory Participation in major internationally organized programs: NOGAFLUIS (FP7-People) Mass spectrometry measurements of noble gas content in fluid inclusions in stalagmites ENSAR (FP7-Infrastructures) European Nuclear Science and Applications Research focusing on nuclear structure, astrophysics and nuclear science applications ATOMKI-PPROCESS (FP7-ERC) Nuclear reaction studies relevant to the astrophysical p-process nucleo-synthesis COLLEXCIT (FP7-People) Study of semiconductor X- and gamma-ray detector response as a function of the band gap and plasmon CHARISMA (FP7-Infrastructures) Cultural Heritage Advanced Research Infrastructures for Conservation and Restoration ENIAC-CSI (FP7-SME) Central Nervous System Imaging R&D for novel class of PET solid-state sensors and architecture 10 Észak-alföld 16 oldal régió A5.indd 10 2011.05.26. 13:20 DEBRECEN 2011 Innovation and clusters The main goal of organizing the innovation activity in clusters is to ensure high quality scientific research and diagnostic service especially for Central European partners. ATOMKI is a member of several clusters. Pharmapolis Debrecen Innovative Cluster (www. pharmapolis.hu) that provides preclinical services for determination of the efficacy of drug or drug candidates. Its two project companies: - Icono-Pharma project company and - Pharmatom project company. Thermal Health Care Industry Cluster (www.termalegeszsegipariklaszter.hu) is the organization of preclinical and clinical studies related to health care research. Hungarian Space Cluster (www.hunspace.org) is dealing with development of space technology for components of satellites, data transfer/ evaluation and electronics. Prizmatech (www.prizmatech.hu) Instrument Manufacturer and Developer Cluster of Debrecen - coordinated by ATOMKI - collects and organizes, in network based cooperation, the market participants, companies, research institutions and higher educational institutions of health care, environmental and mechatronics industry interested in instrumental and methodological development. Examples of major innovation achievements: The miniPET-II: small animal PET scanner for preclinical drug studies (partners: University of Debrecen, MEDISO Ltd., Budapest University of Technology and Economics) CardiotomTM: mobile 3D gamma camera for diagnosis of acute myocardial heart infarction (partners: Karolinska University Hospital, Karolinska Institute, Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden) 11 Észak-alföld 16 oldal régió A5.indd 11 2011.05.26. 13:20
