The ASCIMAT project has been funded under the 'Spreading Excellence' section of the Horizon 2020 Programme. The Twinning scheme aims to increase scientific excellence of a research institution located in a low-performing country (e.g. Czech Republic) by developing links with internationally-leading counterparts. ASCIMAT project has been one of the few proposals selected for funding among the 552 submitted to the call.
The project started in January 2016 and will end in December 2018. During the 3-year project, the coordinator, Fyzikální ústav ČAV, v.v.i. (e.g. Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences) will closely cooperate with the European Centre for Nuclear Research - CERN (Switzerland), the Institute of Light and Matter at the University Lyon 1 (France), the University of Milano-Bicocca (Italy) and Intelligentsia Consultants (Luxembourg).
The ASCIMAT project aims at boosting Fyzikální ústav ČAV, v.v.i. (FZU) and its twinning partners‘ scientific excellence, their innovation capacity in advanced scintillation materials as well as implementing a research and innovation strategy focusing on three research topics:
A whole set of support activities have been designed to achieve the project's objectives such as short-term staff exchanges, training workshops and summer schools, organisation of international conferences and promotion actions including outreach activities.

- Radiation damage and timing characteristics of scintillation materials,
- Material dimensionality influence and characteristics under different excitation modes,
- Defect influence on the transfer stage of scintillation mechanisms.
