In line with the objectives of the project, we launched joint research in three advanced fields in materials science, which led UniMi's young researchers to get to know the professional work of the partner institutions in this field and received a lot of advice and ideas to pursue their research.
The professional work of UniMi's doctoral students and ESRs (Early Stage Researchers) in this field was supported by the knowledge transferred. A PhD student participating in the doctoral program of Stipendium Hungaricum started to deal with the sintering of stainless steel in the framework of the project. For the implementation the partners contributed with their own achievements and research.
The trainings, workshops and seminars organized so far in the framework of the project were closely related to the research topic of the project and took place successfully with great interest.
We have coordinated and invited the participants of the Space Industry Cluster to our events in order to find out what common application opportunities are available in this field.
The concept of an integrated knowledge centre (Excellent Centre for Advanced Materials, ECAM) in UMA3, is based on the creation of a value chain of knowledge of research entities in the scope of Powder Metallurgy, additive manufacturing, PVD (nano) coatings, and fully 3D investigations.
During this period of disruptions, when innovation redefines the future success of organizations, it is extremely important to provide a coherent network that allows and promotes the transnational cooperation of researchers/academia and industry. The UMA3 members join forces to develop new material systems and create new solutions, whilst utilizing their competencies (knowledge, human resources, infrastructures) and cooperate in a synergistic manner.
The knowledge transfer between partners is realized on each topic, led by an internationally recognized researcher. The implementation of UMA3 is linked to the Regional Smart Specialization Strategy (RIS3) for Advanced Vehicle and Machine Engineering Technologies and Intelligent Technologies for Research and Development of Special Materials at county level. The implementation of the project is fitted on the Institution Development Plan of the University of Miskolc in the framework of the Centre for Excellence of Advanced Materials and Technologies and is carried out by the Special Materials Scientific Workshop: in Modern materials, Nanotechnology, Aerospace Applications topic.
In the framework of the project an industry analysis were carried out, with the partners in Fig.1 to map the goals and requirements of our partner, based on which we create an excellence hub with the industry and universities involved. This will promote the networking of the partners and at the same time, assist in achieving individual developments and innovations as knowledge centre. Furthermore, it could provide the framework for joint application for further tenders and calls.
