4. Why the University of Madeira?
The Department of Physics at the University of Madeira has been recognized internationally in the last two decades as a leader in its main area of research, the interaction between plasmas and electrodes.
Scientific threshold is therefore extremely high. This leadership status has been reflected over the years in various partnerships with a high-tech industry.
