Additive Manufacturing in Metals – European Pilot-line Perspective

“Additive Manufacturing in Metals – European Pilot-line Perspective” is a full-day event, which will take place in Gothenburg, Sweden, on the 9th February 2023 as the final conference of the H2020 project MANUELA.

The goal of the project was to develop a world-class pilot line service for additive manufacturing of metals, offering cost-effective and timesaving industrial solutions across various fields – from the energy sector to aerospace.

As the project is finalizing in March, we cordially invite you to attend the event organized at the Chalmers University of Technology and RISE, where you will have the chance to learn more about the success stories of the project and what are the offerings beyond the end of MANUELA!

The conference starts at Chalmer University and the program continues in the afternoon at RISE with an exhibition and a panel discussion. All the information on registration and a detailed agenda can be found here.

In modern architecture, large-area glazing is a continuing trend because of its appearance and design variety. Large southwards-oriented windows help to reduce the energy demand for heating in winter. However, large-area glazing may significantly increase the energy demand for cooling and air-conditioning in hot summers. Smart Glass Solutions – such as electrochromic (EC) and thermochromic (TC) windows and glass façades control the radiation energy transfer with the “touch of a button” and thus can drastically reduce the energy demands for heating and air conditioning of large buildings. In addition, they allow superior indoor lighting comfort in contrast to conventional mechanical window blinds. Switch2Save H2020 project has been launched to improve the availability and affordability of EC and TC smart glass technologies. The consortium of ten partners from research and industry will demonstrate the energy saving potential of Smart Glass Solutions in two fully-operational buildings.

Hosted by BUILD UP, the Switch2Save project organises the webinar entitled “Lightweight switchable smart solutions for energy saving glass facades“. Moderated by Lenka Bajarova from AMIRES, the webinar will take place 12/12/2022 and will present the main features of Switch2Save technology and its potential impact and will also introduce the Architectural Design Competition.

Webinar agenda:

• Project Overview (Matthias Fahland, FEP)
• Technical achievements (materials & components) and Demo-sites (Greger Gregard, ChromoGenics)
• Architectural Design Contest (Sara Van Rompaey, E2ARC)
• Impact of Switch2Save (Matthias Fahland, FEP, coordinator)

To take part in the webinar, please register HERE.

FlexFunction2Sustain is pleased to invite you to the webinar “Feasibility meets economical interest”, which will take place on 30^th November from 14:00 – 16:00 CET. The event is targeted to start-ups, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and large industries who want to develop and test novel nano-functionalised plastic and paper membrane and surfaces and to get them ready for the last Open Call cut-off date for application (27^th of January 2023).

During the event, the participants will learn important aspects of creating an economical relevance in applications and projects, that will sustain the market and establish interest of partners and investors from the early beginning, to successfully realize and marketize scientific results. Intellectual Property consultants and attorneys from the consortium will advise on the best tools to protect inventions and brand names. In addition to that, the webinar will provide insights on FlexFunction2Sustain Open Innovation Test Bed offering and details of the Open Call application and selection process.

The detailed agenda and registration form are available HERE.

More information about the Open Call is available on project website (conditions, winners from first cut-off & second cut-off).

AMIRES and projects POSEIDON and INSPIRE cordially invite you to join workshop on “Integration of novel materials into silicon photonics” which will take place on 21-22 November 2022, in Aachen, Germany.

In the past decade, the field of silicon photonics has grown tremendously, exploiting standard materials and processes of the semiconductor industry for realizing complex photonic integrated circuits with high yield and high volume. In some cases, however, this approach does not suffice. The integration of novel materials is increasingly seen as a promising route to enhance the functionality of standard silicon and silicon-nitride photonic platforms, and to overcome their limitations – in particular concerning light emission, ultrafast modulation, and nonlinear applications.

The scope of the workshop is to present the recent advances of the field, and to discuss the possible advantages and challenges posed by different materials – from quantum dots, to perovskites, to 2D-materials, etc. – and by different integration strategies.

Registration: To attend the workshop, please register until November 3, 2022. Registration is free of charges.

Date: Monday, November 21, 2022, 12 noon — Tuesday, November 22, 2022, 16 pm

Venue: Forum M, Buchkremerstraße 1-7, 52062 Aachen, Germany

As the end of the project is approaching, the consortium is delighted to invite you to the final event of MOSAIC, in the form of a visit of the prototype and a series of conferences relative to innovative CSP technologies.

You can register on the page of the event.

This webinar introduces MedPhab, presenting MedPhab technology capabilities and how to work with the pilot line. By registering here for the event, participants may find a solution to a product development problem.  The Webinar will take place on October 28, 2021 and five MedPhab partners will speak about MedPhab, including Mariana Pacheco Blanco, MedPhab project manager and Programme manager at AMIRES who will present MedPhab Community management platform (CMP).

MedPhab pilot-line CMP includes a technical marketplace, the virtual catalogue of capabilities of the whole Photonics-based medical devices ecosystem. Although at this moment MedPhab partners technical services are visible, during October 2021, non-MedPhab partners will be able to register their organisation and offering (prototypes, products and services). This platform is a community building tool that allows lowering the barrier for photonics technologies adoption by companies interested in medical applications. Therefore, through CMP third parties interested in MedPhab services can submit their enquiries via the in-take form.
