Project description
Twinning in advanced automatic control research in Slovakia
The Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava (STUBA), Slovakia, strives to evolve into a modern excellent institution in high-quality research in advanced automatic control for smart industries. The EU-funded FrontSeat project will increase the research and academic prospects of STUBA through twinning with two academic groups renowned for research in automatic control from Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB), Germany, and the University of Pisa (UNIPI), Italy. The project will help the Slovak university intensify research and achieve a high level in advanced automatic control, reinforce collaboration with these Western European partners, train excellent young/senior researchers and project managers, and disseminate research and innovation efforts.
