FP7 People Marie Curie Project
Project full title: Nonlinear Inclusions, Hemivariational Inequalities with Applications to Contact Mechanics. Project acronym: CONTACT. Consortium Coordinator: Jagiellonian University in Krakow.
The CONTACT project is a four-year Marie Curie "People" International Research Staff Exchange Scheme within the 7th European Community Framework Programme starting on April 1, 2012. Marie Curie's International Research Staff Exchange Scheme helps our research consortium to set up and strengthen long-term cooperation with others, through a coordinated exchange programme for the staff.
The overall aim of this project is to develop a joint training and cutting-edge research program based on state-of-the-art technologies that will strengthen the research partnership between six institutions Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland, Université de Perpignan in Perpgnan, France, Guangxi University of Nationalities in Nanning, P.R. China, Zhejiang University in Hangzhou, P.R. China, The University of Iowa in Iowa City, IA, U.S.A. and Oakland University in Rochester, MI, U.S.A. in the area of common research interest. The consortium demonstrates excellence in research and experience in international collaboration in large research projects. The project is a result of previous partnership cooperation that proves existing strong links between the partners in this project.
