Summary: |
The selected priority domains were identified through the analysis of PTNMR areas of scientific impact (scientific areas of publication, themes of PhD dissertations, patents, R&I projects supported, etc) and considering the most relevant resources installed (present and future equipment) and the scientific expertise of the researchers within the RI.
For a more general description of the impact of PTNMR activity in the different priority domains please see section "B. Impact".
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) encompasses a plethora of methods and techniques of characterization of advanced organic, inorganic and hybrid (including biological) materials, particularly in the solid- and liquid-states,
being crucial to the elucidation of their structure and molecular dynamics and, thus, to the understanding of their properties and assessment of potential applications. NMR is also of much interest for imaging living systems, including
in the diagnoses of human pathologies. Hence, NMR cuts across several areas of intelligent specialization, from the understanding of biological processes, that may lead to improving the citizen?s health, such as the development of new drugs, to a more rational and environmentally friendly use of our endogenous and energy resources, and to the improvement and development of new products and processes.
PTNMR is therefore a privileged place where research meets innovation, bringing together highly skilled scientists, technicians, funding agencies and industry. In its full operational phase PTNMR will serve industrial research and innovation, offering opportunities to remove technological barriers and leading to further innovation and generating knowledge transfer, as illustrated in scheme 1 (see attached document "PTNMR_Structure_and_report.pdf" under "Outros").

Technological development driven by excellent research and enabled by state of the art-equipment, associated to a broad spectrum of scientific disciplines where NMR finds application, justifies the integration in the chosen priority domains of the national and regional R&I strategy for a smart specialization. To substantiate these choices some examples of PTNMR supported research projects are given for each priority or specialization domain. |
