The Managing Authority (MA) of OP RDI is seeking evaluators for the Interim Evaluation of projects funded under priority axes 1 and 2 of the OP RDI (hereafter IE). The evaluation will review the performance of these interventions and assess their prospects of achieving their planned objectives, as well as their sustainability. The IE will also offer recommendations for future action for both the project beneficiary as well as the MA. The total number of projects expected to be assessed within this IE is 48. The whole evaluation exercise will run from 2012 to 2015 (For overall information about Evaluation process, please see odkaz).

The project to be chosen for evaluation is the "Regional materials science and technology centre (RMTVC)“ at VŠB – Technical University of Ostrava with following Research programs:

• Development and optimisation of new technologies of preparation highly pure materials, special metal alloys and intermetallic compounds with a defined structure and physical properties for applications in electronics, medicine, mechanical engineering and chemical industry

• Development and optimisation of processes of powder technologies for production of selected materials and products

• Control of the specific properties of intensively rolled and thermomechanically processed materials by utilizing their structural potential

• New sources of strength and toughness of materials for high technological applications

• Research of nano-structural materials

• Experimental verification of the new technological advancement on the metallic materials with advanced qualitative parameters

The Managing Authority of OP RDI is seeking experts in this particular field for this evaluation. Full details of the project research activities can be found on the link below.
