The World Bank has launched the tender for project Centre for Advanced Laser Techniques (CALT), which aim is to upgrade and improve existing, and develop an entirely new, scientific infrastructure at the Institute based on advanced laser techniques. The research area of interaction of light and matter is identified as a strategic objective and focus of interest of many scientific researchers in Croatia, not only within the natural sciences. Establishment of new experimental techniques, as well as launching new research directions proposed in this project will provide an additional impetus to the already existing scientific activities. The overall objective of this project is to establish the Centre for Advanced Laser Techniques (CALT) which would enable a completely new infrastructure based on lasers.
Basic infrastructure of the Centre is planned within four infrastructure units:
1. Lasers for high-precision spectroscopy
2. Lasers to generate the plasma and higher harmonics
3. Lasers for research of the bio- and nano- systems
4. Lasers for monitoring the ultrafast dynamics
The outputs of the project are following:
A. Feasibility Study (FS)
B. Cost-benefit Analysis (CBA)
C. Technical Documentation Report (TDR)
A consortium led by TECNALIA Research & Innovation, Spain, Institute of Applied Economics and Health Research ApS, Denmark and Sense Consulting, Croatia has been shortlisted for this project and they are now urgently looking for experts that would be working on the outputs. Experts that are needed have to comply with very specific requirements, thus the necessity to recruit international experts. This is a great opportunity for the implementation of activities in Croatia. The deadline for submitting CV’s of experts is on 20 October.
The total volume of work for all experts is 36 man-months. However, at this point, we cannot provide the exact number of man-days for each position, because it will be allocated according to the level of experience and expertise of the key expert candidates.
The official deadline for submitting the application is Tuesday 27 October.
