meet partners and possible project proposers from the European Robotics, Digital Factories and Smart Anything Everywhere networks.

The main goal of the bilateral meetings is offering matchmaking for research and development projects, technology transfer and business development.

The event establishes a bridge between the research world and business. Scientists, researchers, entrepreneurs, CEO’s, policy makers, consultants will be there to share their knowledge and to do business and project networking.

The event takes place on the 4th of October 2018 in Sabancı University.

Focus:

• Robotics for healthcare, inspection and maintenance of infrastructure, agri-food, and agile production.
• Novel business models, legal and regulatory, ethical and cyber-security issues and connections to Big Data and IoT
• AI and Cognition in Robotics
• Cognitive Mechatronics for Robotics
• Socially cooperative human-robot interaction
• Model-based design and configuration tools for robotics technologies
• Advanced Validation of 5G technologies for Digital Factories
• Cyber-physical and embedded systems for Smart Anything Everywhere
• Customised low energy computing powering CPS and the IoT
• Flexible and Wearable Electronics
• Widening Digital Innovation Hubs working on Smart Technologies

Why to participate:

• Meet providers of innovative technologies from Europe and beyond
• Find new commercial and/or technological partners
• Build quality partnerships for Horizon 2020
• Enhance the chance to internationalise your business.

SMART – the new EUREKA Cluster in Advanced Manufacturing – is launching its First SMART Call for Projects in Advanced Manufacturing on December 11.

Czech Republic, Norway, Portugal, Slovakia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden and Turkey are participating in this first call. Austria, Canada, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Slovenia and Switzerland are not taking part in this call, but partners from these countries can contact their project officers to discuss potential funding alternatives.

The Cluster is organizing its first SMART Proposers' Day in Brussels on December 12. SMART Proposers' Day is a networking forum for organizations interested in participating in SMART projects that want to benefit from performing collaborative research.

The agenda includes a presentation about the first SMART Project Call, a project proposal pitch session and BtoB meetings to help you find project partners. 

Projects ideas from all Advanced Manufacturing Technologies are welcomed. SMART projects are bottom-up and are open to all research topics as laid down on the SMART Technology Roadmap.
 

The SMART EUREKA Cluster invites interested organizations to pitch their project ideas by registering on the SMART Proposers' Day website or by filling in a Project Idea Form, to be published on the “Projects looking for partners” section of the SMART website.
