The first day of October is marked by an event with a significant weight for the development of physics in the Republic of Moldova, integration into the European and international scientific space. On October 1-4, 2024, in Chisinau, under the auspices of the State University of Moldova, the Institute of Applied Physics and the Public Association “Materials Science and Engineering”, the International Scientific Conference “Materials Science and Condensed Matter Physics” (MSCMP-2024), which has already reached its tenth edition, is holding its work.
The plenary session of the Conference took place in the Regina Maria Hall of the State University of Moldova, being opened and moderated by Acad. Leonid Culiuc, President of the MSCMP-2024 Conference, who in his welcome message also made a brief retrospective of the evolution of the Institute of Applied Physics during the six decades of activity. The creation of the Institute, initiated by the first director, academician Boris Lazarenko, was supported and promoted by the professionalism of scientific collaborators and engineers, who made significant contributions to the development of research in the fields of condensed matter physics, materials science, electrophysics and electrotechnologies.
With appreciation and congratulations to the organizers, to the participants of the 10th edition of the international scientific conference, came Mrs. Liliana Nicolaescu-Onofrei, Chair of the Parliamentary Commission “Culture, Education, Research, Youth, Sport and Media”, who conveyed the greetings of the participants to the event on behalf of Mr. Igor Grosu, Speaker of the Parliament, awarding the Institute of Applied Physics the Diploma of Honor on behalf of the Parliament, highlighting the efforts of the institution and the entire team of researchers in the development of basic sciences.
