Congratulations to all the recipients of the Best Poster Awards!

First monthly meeting with the agenda of reviewing initial progress of each WP, summarizing the outcome of bilateral WP meetings, finalizing preparing for the January Kick-Off meeting.

The project officially starts. Consortium Agreements are finalized and signed. Bilateral discussions between Work Packets are ongoing in preparation for the kick off meeting in January 2022.

Dr. Scholtzová, project leader for Work Packet 4 presented on her path from periodic clay minerals to the carbon project. Her presentation was followed by Prof. Szilágyi, who reviewed his recent studies in understanding gas storage, structural refinement and emergence of paramagnetism in templated carbon materials.

Prof. Szabó, project leader for Work Packet 3 introduced his lab and summarized his past achievements, current research activities, and discussed his future contributions to the project.

Dr. Michalska, project leader for Work Packet 2 discussed her contribution to the consortia, which specific focus on graphitic carbon nitride materials, their advantages and disadvantages of their use and strategies of their synthesis.

Initial exploration for connectivity between WP1 (headed by Prof. Nishihara) and WP4 (project leader Dr. Scholtzová and collaborator Prof. Szilágyi) for various way computational modelling can support chemical synthesis and sample characterization.

Dr. Jain, secondary project leader summarized her plans for Work Package 5 and discussed how basic science will be translated to device and technology developments. 

Prof. Nishihara, principal project leader presented his Work Package 1 status and provided updates about his research lab's plans for the V4+J project.  

We received the news that our project entitled “Atomic Design of Carbon-Based Materials for New Normal Society” to the recent V4-Japan Joint Call on “Advanced Materials” has been selected for funding within the V4-Japan Joint Research Program. Congratulations to all team members! We are thankful for the reviewers work and their positive support.

A confirmation was received for the submission of our proposal to the Visegrad Group (V4)-Japan Joint Research Program on Advanced Materials.
