Laboratories of Research, Development, Innovation and Technology Transfer • Isotopic processes and investigations – Mass spectrometry; • Organic compounds chromatography; • Biomedical sciences; • Clean Energy and Environment

Hydrogen and Renewable Energies Development and implementation of technologies based on hydrogen and renewable energies: • Hydrogen Fuel Cell, Physical and Electrochemical Processes • Mathematical Modeling • Renewable Energies Integration and Applications

Experimental Pilot Plant for Deuterium and Tritium Separation • Development and implementation of the technology for heavy water detritiation,

resulted from the CANDU-like reactors; • Based on the similarities between the TRF from Rm.Valcea and the proposed

configuration for the WDS-ISS ITER systems, ICIT was partner in several Nuclear Fusion Technologies projects, together with prestigious institute.

Technological and Business Incubator TBI - ICIT RM VALCEA Innovation and technology transfer entity, established in the ICIT Ramnicu Valcea, part of the National Network of Innovation and Technology Transfer/ ReNITT. MISSION: To sustain the start-up and development of new enterprises (SMEs) innovative based on advanced technology; To promote the technological transfer of research results achived by ICIT - technologies,patents, new products and services to business.
