montenight 2022 and 2023 shaping future

the montenight202223 is a continuation of a tradition of researchers nights in montenegro since 2009 demonstrating the human face of research and innovations by clarifying practical benefits in everyday life the montenight shaping future brings researchers closer to the public addressing their important role from the perspective of society the montenight would attract people of all ages while inclusiveness should be a key given access to science to all promoting gender balance and inclusiveness in science open science and responsible research and innovationfollowing the european green deal orientation with the fact that montenegro has been declared as an ecological state montenight will also focus on raising awareness of the green future and the importance of researchers in reaching sustainable development the project will promote a knowledgebased society by emphasizing research and innovations in competitive sectors having in mind not only benefits for development but also challenges that we face with social political and ethical implications of science and technologiesthe night would combine education with entertainment including science shows handson experiments debates robot performances quizzes simulations concerts interdisciplinary workshops etc by bringing researchers to schools across the country montenight will promote researchers at schools activities throughout both yearsthe project would be coordinated at the national level at a wide geographical spread targeting researchers school children students parents teachers the general public and media at least 350 of them would be directly involved in the organization expecting about 6000 visitors while up to 50 of the population would be reached via media advertising the montenight would be highlighted as a europewide event while the paneuropean values will be disseminated through public tribunes introducing researchers who benefit from eu support

tailoring of polar topologies with optical pulses

the past decade has witnessed dramatic progress related to the emergence of different topological polar textures in oxide nanostructures such as vortices skyrmions merons hopfions among others these exotic phases are opening new technological perspectives due to their exotic functional properties like negative capacitance chirality or ultrafast dynamical response in addition the fact that these states are metastable and thus nonvolatile allows to consider them as multiweights that one can exploit in artificial neuromorphic synapses the main goal of the collaboration between the researcher and the host group is to perform firstprinciples based effective atomic potential simulations retrieving all the structural degrees of freedom of topological phases interacting with electric pulses from a truly quantummechanical point of view to tailor the resulting polar ordering a key novelty of this proposal and the ambitious objective that it pursues is to study and characterize from a fundamental point of view the phonon modes active in the different topological orderings to figure out the relevant modes to be excited and be able to design concrete pulses that provide a deterministic control of the resulting effect on the polar ordering of the material other current approaches to the problem only rely on the coupling between two or three modes with their interactions fitted from dft therefore a full atomistic view of the problem would be desired due to the promising technologically relevant results on the near horizon a deeper and more advanced theoretical inspection without the omission of atomic degrees of freedom that might be relevant for the description of the material is needed with urgency this project directly tackles these needs although being a theoretical work collaboration with leading experimental groups at ucl and unige will be pursued in order to validate the theoretical model and increase the technology readiness level of the project
