Partners

The project team consists of 23 renowned sites. Universities, industrial research organisations, cluster groups and private enterprises are entering the project together, building on previous close cooperation, including experience with the Competence Centres from call 1 and call 2. The activities of the individual Partners are closely interconnected so that it is possible to use the research capacities of the universities, transfer their findings to larger laboratory and semi-operational scales and, after optimisation, transfer them to industry. The last stage of the transfer of scientific research results can be carried out continuously using targeted company requirements. In addition, the involvement of cluster organisations in the project enables a wide dissemination of scientific research results to the professional and lay public.

The whole team is designed so that after setting up forms of cooperation within the project, it can continue to function in the long term after the project is completed.
