Industrial Technologies conference June 2016
The RAI conference centre in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, will host this year’s European Conference Industrial Technologies 2016 on 22-24 June.
The largest networking conference in its field (production technologies, materials, nanotechnology, biotechnology and digitalisation), and with more than 1,250 delegates, Industrial Technologies 2016 is a three-day conference event that includes more than 90 plenary and interactive sessions, case studies, and opportunities to network with new business partners. More than 70 speakers (including keynote speakers commissioner for research and innovation Carlos Moedas, director general for DG Research Robert-Jan Smits, and President of CEEMET Ineke Dezentjé Hamming-Bluemink) will also take part in this year’s Amsterdam event.
The conference takes four main themes as its 2016 focus, each of which will be approached in lectures and workshops of the Industrial Revolution: new collaborations; revolution by technology and innovation; creating impact; and fostering smart, sustainable and inclusive growth.
Major challenges exist in the exploitation of new industrial technologies for a smart Europe. The conference also focuses on these challenges to identify crucial priorities in strengthening European industry.
Its aim is to co-develop a European agenda for an industry that is suitable for the future and for our changing attitudes. The programme therefore includes a policy track in which relevant policy making issues will be discussed and the priorities identified. The policy track will produce a policy agenda to be directly presented to Commissioner Moedas.
Industrial challenges will also be set by companies for groups of PhD or masters students from across Europe to address. These challenges can be a technical, business or policy issues.
Former challenges such as these have proven successful for both the companies and the students. 20 students will attempt to tackle each challenge by translating their knowledge and skills into an innovative solution.
Registration for the event can be completed here.
