The National Institute for Laser, Plasma and Radiation Physics is a national research institute established by decision of the Romanian Government in 1977 with the mission of conducting fundamental and applied research at national and international level in the fields of photonics, plasma and electron accelerators. The institute was reorganized in 1996 when the Institute of Space Sciences (ISS) became a subsidiary of INFLPR.
INFLPR is financed based on projects won in national and international competitions, financed from public and/or private funds, in partnership with other research institutions or public or private enterprises.
INFLPR brings together 447 researchers whose interests cover research on high-power lasers and photonic materials, nanomaterials and nanotechnologies, development of information technologies and quantum dots, plasma coating technologies and X-ray microtomography, biophotonics and medical applications of photonics. ISS has interests in the fields of astrophysics, space engineering and gravity.
În acest moment INFLPR este membru în asociaţia EURATOM, partener în Extreme Light Infrastructure (ELI), partener în LASERLAB Europe, ALICE, şi conduce proiecte finanţate de EU, NATO şi alte organizaţii naţionale şi internaţionale.
