Development of frontier research leading to innovative materials, advanced (multifunctional materials, smart materials, metamaterials, biomaterials) in response to current societal challenges (related to medicine, environmental protection, energy, optoelectronics, etc.) and in accordance with the thematic priorities of the Horizon 2020 Program, thus creating the basis for accessing European funds;
The theoretical and practical foundation of the proposed researches for obtaining new functional and sustainable materials and developing an in-depth knowledge of the key parameters underlying these processes;

• Using the existing expertise in the subprogramme team, strengthening and developing it through close collaboration between project team members and by attracting young people to the team;
• Development of interdisciplinary competences for identifying the applicative potential of the prepared materials;
• Development of the research infrastructure of the laboratory/institute by attracting alternative sources of financing (participation in complex national/international projects);
• Specialization of young people in the subprogramme field by promoting doctoral training programs and accessing national and international research programs for human resources.
• Siloxane polymers and compounds common and modified by attachment of polar or functional groups
• Homo- or heteronuclear complex combinations based on hybrid ligands
• Metal clusters and nanoparticles
• Silicone nanocomposites with inorganic or organic dispersed phases stimuli responsive
• Advanced polymers and materials for energy conversion and storage; silicone-based energy conversion units obtained by "green chemistry"
