New Intelligent Manufacturing Systems web site on CORDIS
A new web site for Intelligent Manufacturing Systems is now available on CORDIS. The IMS Initiative assists and encourages the formation of international research consortia to address industrial manufacturing and organisational challenges in the 21st century. IMS provides a framework for industry and academia to co-operate throughout the full innovation cycle, to identify partners world-wide. It offers broad-based technology trials and benchmarking, involving a world-wide user community, ensuring general applicability of the technology developed and providing a better understanding of global markets through improved market intelligence. The regions involved are EU plus Norway, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Switzerland and the USA. Information available on the site includes a detailed description of the IMS programme, acces to the call, useful documentation and details of events, relevant links and contact details.
