After completing the initial year, I4MS has hosted its first public international event on 18th June in Berlin, in cooperation with the launch of the German manufacturing programme, Autonomik für Industrie 4.0". I4MS has brought together more than 150 professionals from industry and innovation, who have attended to several presentations about what has been achieved by I4MS and further funding opportunities for SMEs and middle size corporates (mid-caps) under the Initiative.
The event signified the importance of SMEs in Europes manufacturing industry and their role in the reindustrialisation process for Europe. At a glance: SMEs are providers of around 45% of manufacturing added value and roughly 59% of employment in the manufacturing sector.

Greener and Safer Energetic and Ballistic Systems: ERASMUS+ Program for Knowl...Altair
The Greener and safer Energetic and Ballistic Systems ERASMUS+ program deals with energetic materials, pyromechanisms and shielding applications for defense and civil applications. It has been proposed by the Militatry Technical Academy of Bucarest, Romania and gathers European universities and engineering schools in UK (Imperial College of London), Portugal (University of Coïmbra) and France (ENSTA Bretagne). It consists of courses and conferences that aim at knowledge dissemination among the European students and researchers about the proposed topic.
In this context the concrete aim of the project will be to provide an Intensive Study Programme for MSc and PhD students coming from four prestigious HEIs across Europe. The proposed program addresses the latest approaches and concepts in the field of greener and safer EBSs, using Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) tools and Open Educational Resources (OER).
Theoretical information are experienced in practice by the students through case studies and demonstrations using the most advanced ICT modeling tools and laboratory. Thus, the project will involve the use of participatory approaches and ICT-based methodologies.
The course teaching activities are followed by conferences, workshops and other multiplier events which will assure a wide dissemination and debate of the topics in academia, research areas, industry and governmental organizations. It gives the chance for all students from partner universities not only to access the contents of the curricula but also to comprehend other educational levels, skills and various cultural backgrounds.

Interreg Sudoe TWIST - innovation procurement in water sectorCENTA3
INNOVATION PROCUREMENT AS AN EFFECTIVE TOOL TO ADDRESS THE CURRENT CHALLENGES IN WATER MANAGEMENT.
Main challenges and needs in the water management can be addressed through approaches to innovation procurement projects, promoting R&D&I activities within research centres and companies. The main achievements and conclusions obtained will be presented, based on the analysis of the training developed, as well as the pilots carried out and their relationship with the Living Labs.
UTC is well-known for producing multi-facet, wide-ranging engineers. They can be top-notch technically or
skilful managers, or a mix of both – this is largely due to the cursus structure, with its 6 elective majors
and 24 optional specialties that opens the way to innumerable professional opportunities. That is why there
is no stereotype profile for a UTC graduate … This month’s ‘dossier’ looks at this rich diversity and invites
the students to tell us how they perceived their last placement, just before they are invited to their muchawaited
UTC graduation ceremony? The following short stories, in a sense, help the future graduates to project
themselves into a job context. We shall be able to follow their first steps. Twice a year, 1 000 industrial training
officers, UTC’s pedagogical tutors and the trainees meet for the poster session day devoted to the placements.
The students have 15 minutes each to valorise their experience!

The process is iterative and recursive; the driver of this
phase is to capitalize on findings and know-how;
These initial phases are dominated by research labs,
normally without a market-oriented approach
The idea is ready to be verified . A forecast of
the target market and application must be
provided;
These phases are equally developed by
researches and industry people, who become
more and more relevant as the idea proceeds
The work is focused on realizing a suitable
prototype to be tested and prepared for the
target market;
Often times a set of additional patents can
derive in connection with the introduction of
an invention in a production cycle;
In these phase the market players
are the ones who take the lead.
Product test; compliancy,
security/safety;
Market test and cost-return
evaluation;
Go/no-go for the launch
The idea is out of the lab and
begins its way to the market.

Green Plastic from vegetable waste
Most of the plastics we use today are made up of non-degrading petroleum based resources. Lack of degradability and
the closing of landfill sites as well as growing water and land pollution problems have led to serious global concern about
plastics. Processed vegetables and cereals produce large amounts of waste rich in cellulose all over the world. Such
waste was directly transformed into green plastics.
