There are altogether 24 academic and industrial facilities across different parts of the Czech Republic participating in the NCC for MATCA that share a common interest in advanced technologies R&D.

Thanks to the success in the public competition of the Program of the National Center of Competence (2022), announced by the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic (TAČR) we continue on providing very perspective cooperation and applied research at NCC MATCA 2, which has successfully expanded to include 4 other partners (Institute for Hydrodynamics of the CAS, v. v. i., SHM, s. r. o., ad-tech s.r.o. and Advanced Metal Powders s.r.o.)

J. Heyrovský Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Czech Academy of Sciences, v.v.i. is a public research institution that aims at developing research in physical chemistry and chemical physics with emphasis placed on exploring the relationships between structure and reactivity of substances. Its primary focus is on theoretical and experimental research which concentrates on chemical and physico-chemical processes at atomic and molecular levels (substance structure and dynamics, reaction mechanisms) in gas, liquid and solid phases, and at their interfaces). The research is mainly conducted for systems with significance for chemical catalysis and for sorption, electrochemical and biological processes, including the preparation and the characterisation of new catalytic, and sorption, electrode and other special materials.
