2. Brief presentation of INCDIE ICPE-CA

2.1. History

By Government Decision no. 1282/2004, our organization has become the National Institute for Research and
Development in Electrical Engineering ICPE‑CA (INCDIE ICPE‑CA).
In 2012, following the commission’s visit from May 29‑30, INCDIE ICPE‑CA was re‑evaluated for 2007‑2011
as a national research and development institute according to Government Decision 1062/2011.
In 2019 INCDIE ICPE‑CA was re‑evaluated for 2014‑2019 as a national research and development institute
according to the Evaluation Report no. CCCDI 526/18.11.2019 from November 15, 2019. Following the evaluation,
96 point were obtained and the institute was re‑accredited for the next 5 years (2020‑2024).
With a long tradition of excellence and innovation in research and over 200 employees, the institute enjoys
its national and international prestige, having collaborators in the economy branch through the supplied products and
services that are based on international best practices.
The institute offers technological solutions tailored to customer needs, based on a comprehensive portfolio
of applications in electrical engineering as well as a full range of designing services, characterization and testing of
materials and products.
During its 15 years as a national institute, ICPE‑CA was constantly involved with the development of RDI
infrastructure, in expanding of the multidisciplinary research area and focusing on the applicative research domain.
An important place in the activity of ICPE‑CA is held by the international projects since ICPE‑CA is an active
participant in both the EU Programmes (Framework Program HORIZON 2020, Competitiveness and Innovation Framework
Program POC 2014‑2020, Program FAIR (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research) ‑ Germany, Program CERN – France,
RDI Program for Space Technology and Advanced Research STAR 2012‑2019, ERA RO Program), as well as other
programmes of international funding (Joint Bilateral Cooperation Programme with JINR – Dubna, Russia).
In addition, ICPE‑CA has a sustained activity under the Competitiveness Operational Program 2014‑2020,
Priority Axis 1 ‑ Research, Technological Development and Innovation (RDI) in Support of Economic Competitiveness
and Business Development, Action 1.2.3, project type “ Partnerships for Knowledge Transfer”. Starting with 2016,
ICPE‑CA has been involved in the development of such 3 projects ((SITEM - Integrated modular system and technology
for electromagnetic shielding of enclosures in the 100 kHz - 18 GHz range; TRANSENERG - Knowledge transfer to the
private sector in the field of energy based on the scientific experience of ICPE-CA; PHOENIX - Developing intellectual
capital through knowledge transfer in the field of advanced materials - Impact on increasing labor productivity and
production volume in enterprises).
Being accredited and coordinated by the Ministry of Research and Innovation, ICPE‑CA currently covers the
following research areas:
fundamental and applicative research in the field of electrical engineering;
technical assistance and consultancy in the field of electrical engineering;
information, documentation and personnel training in the field of electrical engineering;
technology transfer.
INCDIE ICPE‑CA Vision
INCDIE ICPE‑CA to become the promoter of the knowledge‑based progress in the field of electrical engineering.
INCDIE ICPE‑CA Mission

INCDIE ICPE‑CA promotes and conducts applicative research in the field of electrical engineering (materials,
electrotechnologies, new energy sources, micro‑ and nano‑electrotechnologies, vibration and dynamic balancing,
electromagnetic compatibility etc.), under national and international framework, for the benefit of both private and
public companies.
By developing the technological innovation for beneficiaries, ICPE‑CA contributes to the increase in their
competitiveness in Romania as well as in Europe. The research activity conducted by the institute is intended to promote
the economic development of the society in order to be more environmentally friendly, as well as gain social serenity.
For its employees, ICPE‑CA offers the possibility for developing their professional qualifications, allowing them
access to high‑responsibility positions inside of institute, in industry, as well as in other scientific fields.
The mission thus defined is feasible (due to ICPE‑CA skills and creativity of its employees), instructive,
accurate, it reflects the reality of ICPE‑CA (values and culture) and it is targeted to beneficiaries.
In this context, the strategy developed by the institute on the medium and long term, the research activities
in the field of electrical engineering have contributed to:
- achieve the compatibility and competitiveness necessary for a full integration into the European research
area;
- participation in the HORIZON 2020 Programme of the European Union;
- development of a social, economic, dynamic and competitive environment, high‑tech oriented, able to
meet the long term development strategic demands, in the context of the globalized economy.
