🥳 Today we had our Kick-off Meeting (KoM) for the official launch of MOZART EU Project.
The KoM took place remotely 💻 and in particular, we focused on:
✔️ Getting to know better each partner of the consortium
✔️ Presenting the 8 Work Packages (WP), deliverables and milestones
✔️The next steps for the first months of the project

📝 Stay tuned to get to know about MOZART project!

Politecnico di Milano AIMEN Centro Tecnológico Creative Nano Elsyca NV Falex Tribology nv National Technical University of Athens - Foreign Languages Centre Axia Innovation University of Birmingham

Great achievement for project Sinergy on innovative redox flow batteries promoted by PhD students at SEE Lab! Congratulations!

ANT-3D, OPT-IN FCS, Pipein, Intelligent Athlete e Sinergy sono tra i team vincitori di S2P – la challenge di Politecnico di Milano , e PoliHub , che valorizza soluzioni innovative, nuove tecnologie e idee offrendo loro risorse economiche per supportare lo sviluppo tecnologico e un percorso di accelerazione imprenditoriale dedicato realizzato da PoliHub, dal Technology Transfer Office (TTO) e da di Deloitte. A loro va il Grant S2P di 30 mila euro.
“S2P non è solo il programma di scouting a idee e risorse interne all’Ateneo, ma l’adozione di nuovo approccio alla cultura dell’innovazione condivisa dalla comunità Politecnica, che trova nei progetti coinvolti persone motivate, flessibili e pronte a utilizzare ogni opportunità di innovazione.” Davide Moscatelli, Rector’s Delegate to Exploitation of Research and TT, Politecnico di Milano.

🔎🔎
Sometimes you may wonder what are our goals.
-
The overall goal this ecosystem is to set up and operate a fully sustainable ecosystem related to the upscaling of materials and end-user driven lightweight metal matrix composites, mainly demonstrated in the automotive and aerospace sectors. It will be represented by a Non-Profit Organization that will act as the Single-Entry Point for accelerating rapid market uptake.
👇
Our mission is to provide:
• Open facilities (Pilot Lines) at the EU level accessible to users across Europe;
• Improved industrial process parameters and faster verification of materials performance for highly promising applications;
• Improvement in industrial productivity, reliability, environmental performance, durability, and reduction of life-cycle costs of these materials;
• Indirect reduction in energy consumption across sectors using lighter materials in their products and processes;
• Access to various funding schemes (for SMEs in particular), for investing in these materials or in applications using them, accompanied with tailor-made business plans developed by AXIA Innovation in cooperation with SD Partners.

This is a little taste of who we are and what we do. To fully know us, go to: http://lightme-ecosystem.eu/

Don't worry, we're here 😉

Just a quick reminder of who/what is LightMe Project.
We are a project funded by European Commission with partners from 13 European countries.
The main target is on the setting up of a self-sustainable open innovation ecosystem for the upscaling of industrial processes concerning lightweight metal alloys (aluminum, magnesium and titanium) composites.

The LightMe Ecosystem will provide the necessary infrastructure (6 Pilot Lines – PL) and knowhow for upscaling the new materials concepts related to lightweight Metal Matrix nano-Composites and advance materials, in a cost effective and sustainable way.

This is who we are!

Higher Education Under Quarantine: What Insights can Italian Institutions Share? As part of an interview series, QS is speaking to university professionals throughout Italy to get their take on higher education during the coronavirus outbreak. During these difficult times, universities across the globe need to share insights and knowledge on how best to mitigate the risks for st...

During this hard time, we decided to temporarily suspend all the experimental activities because the prevention from the COVID-19 is a top priority.
But Science never stops!
Here are some nice papers suggested by us:
