On February 25-26, IMH Campus hosted the initial meeting of all the partners of this new CoVE project: ECOLE – Enti COnfindustriali Lombardi per l’Education, Göteborgs Tekniska College, CESI LINEACT Ecole d’Ingenieurs, SCSKZ – School center Slovenske Konjice-Zreče, Elesar Innovation, Logisnext Sweden AB, INNOVAE, MecaBotiX, AFM – Advanced Manufacturing Technologies, MADE, UCIMU Sistemi per Produrre, and IMH Campus (project leader entity).
Following the initial contact between the project partners, the meeting provided a platform to share the strategic lines that will guide the project over the next four years. It also allowed for the organization and management of the various tasks involved.
During the 1st day of the meeting, each partner presented their organisations, their team involved as well as their role in the project. Next, it was the turn of the Work Package Leaders to analyse and present the ambitions and challenges in each given task.
On the 2nd day of the meeting, we focused on several key areas to advance the project. We discussed and defined our Dissemination Plan to ensure effective communication and outreach. Additionally, we dedicated time to project management and coordination, meticulously planning our upcoming meetings and overall organization. The day concluded with an open discussion to share ideas and insights.
In addition, we had the chance to experience at first hand the virtualization and digitalization projects of IMH Campus, enjoy the Machine Tool Museum, and visited Lizagasar, an entrepreneurial experience of a former student of the IMH, dedicating a moment of the meeting to the Basque tradition and culture.
