NABISUM project together with another 3 projects from UBB were admitted for European Structural Funds in the 2007 competition. Using these 4 projects at UBB, it was written a unique project, namely the 2007 RICI project: “Integrated Network of Interdisciplinary Research”, no. 89, based especially on the feasibility studies already realized for the four admitted projects. RICI project jointly with the said 4 projects accessed 15 millions of Euro. The structural funds were used to purchase the top state of the art instruments, like HR-TEM, SEM, FT-Raman, Mass spectrometer, RMN, RES, Fluorescence spectroscopy, Fluorescence microscopy, MRI, XRD with elemental analysis and more, that were placed in different research laboratories in UBB.
