POSTPONED! OIT Spring School 2020 – Zagreb
The digitalisation of fully integrated, automated, optimised manufacturing flows (Industry 4.0) and a range of low carbon technologies aimed at providing solutions to environmental problems (CleanTech) are challenging existing routines and structures towards more sustainable manufacturing.
Industry 4.0 and CleanTech are, along with FinTech and FoodTech, the sectors where the Horizon 2020 MSCA-RISE project OpenInnoTrain explores how Open Innovation and Research Translation can be facilitated between academia and industry within the University‐Industry Cooperation (UIC) framework. This Open Innovation approach for Research Translation is the prerequisite for societal impact through value creation by embedding research‐generated knowledge into practices, transforming knowledge made available in academic publications to new or improved products and services and behavioural changes.
The OpenInnoTrain Spring School will take place in Zagreb during 24-27/03/2020 and focus on Research Translation in CleanTech and Industry 4.0. Furthermore, right after the Spring School Zagreb will host the 7th MCAA General Assembly and Annual Conference 2020 on 28-29/03, where alumni of Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions will meet, with opportunities for international networking for the participants: https://www.mariecuriealumni.eu/2020-conference/registration
