OUR MISSION
Through excellence in research to prosperity of society.
The Institute for Physical Research of National Academy of Sciences of Armenia is a public research organization working in the fields of laser physics, material science, and related areas. Our primary goal is reaching and maintaining excellence in fundamental research, applied developments, and innovation, aiming at the wealth and prosperity of our beneficiaries: Armenian science, economy, and society, as well as the Institute staff. The priorities that we set up in this way are: building strong international collaboration, increasing involvement of students in research and innovation, linkage with industry, which will assure sustainable development of the institute; increasing the visibility and prestige of Armenian science, and providing dissemination and promotion of our achievements, thus yielding significant socio-economic impact.
International Collaboration
Currently, we have bilateral collaborations with the following countries: France, Germany, the USA, Italy, the UK, Russia, Latvia, Bulgaria, Poland, Japan, Spain, Australia, Switzerland, Croatia, Canada, Taiwan, Greece, and others. We also hold the scientific-educational center of Quantum and Optical Electronics of the Russian-Armenian University.
We have been actively involved in over 40 international grant programmes within the last two decades, including ISTC, INTAS, CRDF, NFSAT, Volkswagen, ANSEF, NATO SPS, FP7, and Horizon 2020.
We produce about 50 publications per year, which is a great accomplishment for the institute. The traditional international conference “Laser Physics” is organized and hosted by us, which enjoys participation from many of the major scientists in this field from all over the world. Additionally, we receive at IPR over 30 visits each year from international scientists.
