As a unified center of excellence consisting of 4 different experimental physics units, CoRE (national Centre of Research Excellence) CEMS (Center of Excellence for advanced Materials and Sensing devices) has evolved into the platform of interdisciplinary connected research groups recognised internationally and equipped with a wide range of techniques and other experimental capabilities for the synthesis and characterisation of materials. Through this project CoRE CEMS intends to join these capabilities to connect basic and applied research aiming towards the development of new materials and technologies of importance to 3 out of 7 main national S3 priorities. More specifically, these are relevant to technology transfer solutions within fields of energy conversion and storage, sensing, cybersecurity and in long term scale quantum technology developments. 
Contrary to the first CoRE CEMS project (KK.01.1.1.01.0001), where four units had one research activity each, research activities in this continuation project are grouped in the three main directions taking into account priorities of the national smart specialization strategy (S3). These  are forming now the core of this project proposal as well as the CEMS joint activities of the future. The first activity entitled Materials synthesis and characterisation (1)  can be considered as the one contributing mostly in increasing the borders of knowledge, while the two others, Energy conversion and storage (2) and Quantum science and technology (3) will contribute to the development of new technologies and innovations according to national priorities of the S3.
