Report on industry-academia joint activities

To focus on the skills necessary for unlocking the industrial potential the following activities are foreseen4 mobility months will be provided for 8 UTARTU researchers for the mobility to IIT The task is focused on the research communication industrial collaboration product development and relevant grant preparation skills targeting specifically technology transfer industryacademia collaboration and technological innovation capacity whereas the mobility to IIT under T42 is foremost targeted to develop skills for scientific excellence IIT transfer knowledge how to stimulate the creation of university spinoffs and entrepreneurial capability leading to practical applications

Report on conferences, trade shows and annual panel sessions M13

Attendance at conferences and trade shows. To strengthen the project dissemination, create awareness about the project, to find synergies and cooperation with initiatives and stakeholders, especially to increase networking within academia and with industry there are 8 visits to international conferences and trade shows foreseen: • The International Society for optics and Photonics (SPIE): Smart Structures and Nondestructive Evaluation, panel Electroactive Polymer Actuators and Devices (EAPAD) • IEEE Robotics and Automation Society: RoboSoft • International Symposium on Wearable Robotics: WearRAcon • International Conference on Biomimetic and Biohybrid Systems “Living Machines” • International conference on Electromechanically Active Polymer transducers & artificial muscles (EuroEAP) • International Conference on Soft Robotics and Flexible Materials (ICSRFM) • Tradeshows: IDTechEx Business Insight Forums: Printed Electronics; Flexible, Printed and Organic Electronics. TWINNIMS annual panel sessions. To ensure the visibility of the TWINNIMS project as part of the international conferences listed above the consortium organises 3 annual panel sessions on the project. The sessions will be organized as side-events of the conferences. The panels will focus on the capacity building focus areas and lessons learnt from the project activities. As the project focuses on the topics that are novel in the research area knowledge sharing with wider audiences in form of annual panel sessions is mutually beneficial for the organisers from the consortium and for the audience. Also, it enables networking for grant or project writing purposes. Each panel session will have 20 participants.

Report on the hackathon

UTARTU will organise a 2days interdisciplinary and crosssectorial hackathon on Functional Materials for Robotics The call for the hackathon ideas will be launched M17 of the project in order to properly prepare the content for the hackathon taking place on M21 The hackathon will be organized within same week when the joint summer school T331 takes place at UTARTU The aim of the hackathon is to enhance technological innovation capacity facilitate cocreation rapid idea creation and experimentation to identify problems looking for solutions and develop solutions accordingly It includes training on lean product development that addresses the challenges of product development including reducing long development cycles cost of development and production it also targets the need for innovative solutions The hackathon is targeted for 50 stakeholders from academia including the consortium and industry involving the students ESRs postdoctoral researchers and startups While inviting participants both from academia and industry variety in terms of disciplines will be encouraged material science and related research fields SSH that enables to analyse the problems and offered solutions from a wider societal perspective Special attention will be paid to the involvement of ESRs the 6 ESRs who have completed the T31 and T32 will attend the hackathon to have the change to put their knowledge into practice From UTARTU as minimum 12 ESRs and from IIT 6 and CNRS 6 will attend Travel costs will be reimbursed from the T331 Joint summer school at UTARTU budget There will be a jury of experts and investors nominating the 3 best ideas After the hackathon the 3 winner teams will be encouraged to develop their ideas further and advice will be given for additional funding sources The hackathon will be organised in collaboration with partner found in procurement who is experienced in organizing startup events to show how to turn an idea into a working service or prototype within 48 hours
