Meeting bla bla...

This 2 day conference intends to stimulate networking and discussions in the casual atmosphere of Villars, a charming village and ski resort located at 1250 meters of altitude. A selection of invited speakers and presentations will comprise the program. A small, table-top exhibition will be conducted in parallel for those wishing to promote their company and products.

The conference will take place on a Monday and Tuesday, thus permitting paticipants that wish to arrive early to take advantage of the close proximity the ski lifts or simply relax for a couple of days in a laid-back Alpine setting. A conference dinner on Monday evening at 1800 meters of altitude will add a touch of local charm.

A limited number of participants will be able to attend the event. Don’t miss it!

In March 2013, the European       Commission, with the support of the European Factories of the Future Research Association (EFFRA), organised the 3rd Workshop on the Impact of the FoF PPP. All FoF projects funded in the first 3 calls (2010-2012) were invited to a 2-day event to assess the impact of the PPP initiative and to strengthen the cooperation links within the community.

The objectives of the Workshop were to address innovation and exploitation issues in running projects and explore potential for cross-project clustering. To this aim, projects were grouped in small clusters and asked to discuss common technical and non-technical issues and possible synergies. Joint presentations were then delivered in three parallel sessions. The second day, in a plenary session, participants could listen to a number of success stories and to EC and private sector representatives talking about their views on the Factories of the Future PPP.

The NILindustrialday

This time the NILindustrialday is hosted by PROFCATOR, the coordinator of the NILaustria project cluster. The international symposium will start on Thursday, 14 March after lunch-time. The lectures will finish on Friday, 15 March after lunch. The scientific part will be followed by networking activities (at Friday afternoon sight-seeing in Salzburg and at Saturday, March 16 skiing in the mountains near Salzburg).
 

The program will provide ample opportunities to share ideas and discuss technical and process details related to Nanoimprint Lithography. internationally recognized experts will discuss high-lights and trends complemented by oral and poster presentations of the latest R&D results. The dialogue between R&D and industrial people will be stimulated through a small industrial exhibition.
 

The agenda covers all relevant facts, ranging from materials for Nanoimprint Lithography, NIL equipment, all major imprint processes to business-relevant applications: NIL is leaving academics and becoming commercially relevant in many business areas. We are presenting both, the state of research and possible commercial use of NIL in optics, life sciences and anti-counterfeiting.

4M Conference

This series of conferences on multi-material micro-manufacture is organised by the 4M Association. 4M2013 was the tenth in the series.

At the conference a SMARTLAM presentation was given by Steffen Scholz.

Over 1,300 delegates participated at the conference Industrial Technologies 2014 in Athens.

The main topics addressed during Industrial Technologies 2014 were:

• European and global developments  in the high-tech arena
• Re-industrialisation and regional development in Europe
• Technological and entrepreneurial opportunities especially for the Balkan and Mediterranean states
• Opportunities in Horizon 2020 in the field of enabling technologies
• Cutting-edge research, latest innovations and rising companies

LOPEC - (Large-area, Organic & Printed Electronics Convention) is the leading international trade fair and conference for printed electronics in the high-tech business location of Munich.

Impressions can be found on the official website of LOPEC

The WMF was created by the Intelligent Manufacturing Systems Program (IMS) to be an international forum where high-level policy makers and industry leaders could meet to discuss global manufacturing issues that should be solved cooperatively.

For more details refer to the official website of WMF 2014.
 

The 4M 2020 Project will review the current MNM portfolio of FP7 projects and future research needs. The Forum will be chaired by Bertrand Fillon, CEA. For more information click here.

The event "3D Additive Manufacturing - production technology of the future" will take place on the 23rd of September 2014 in Hanau. Expert will present the "state of the art" of the technology and talk about the future challenges.

Find more details in the Program  and at the official webpage.

LET’S 2014 will take place in Bologna (Italy) from September 29th to October 1st 2014 with the aim of discussing the role of the Key Enabling Technologies highlighted by Horizon 2020.

Topics will be: Nanotechnologies, Advanced Materials, Advanced Manufacturing, Processing and Biotechnology.

The ability to deterministically alter the topographic structure of a surface can have a profound effect on how that suface functions. Whilst much of the work in this area is at the research stage, the number of products that include some form of surface structure control is growing rapidly.

Topics of the Special Intreset Group are:

• Replication Techniques (inc. Embossing, Imprinting ...)
• Structured Surfaces to Effect Function
• Precision Freeform Surfaces
• Large Scale Surfaces Structuring (inkl. R2R & Printed Electronics)
