Regional Centre of Advanced Technologies and Materials has disposal of a large and modern instrument park that will be substantially enriched in the forthcoming years. The Centre offers free capacities of its instrument infrastructure to the partners from industry, state agencies and institutions as well as to public institutions, to perform contract research, measurements or analytic works. The Centre guarantees high quality of its services not only due to top-class instrumentation but also thanks to highly qualified personnel with broad experience from both fundamental and applied research at an international level.
