The 2024 SMART Proposers’ Day 2024, in collaboration with Innovate UK and High Value Manufacturing Catapult, set to take place within Call 8 in Sheffield (UK) at The University of Sheffield AMRC (High Value Manufacturing Catapult – HVMC) on the 29th and 30th of October.
SMART Proposers’ Day is a networking forum for organisations interested in participating in SMART projects and want to benefit from performing collaborative research. This forum will let you become part of the SMART future and jump-start your preparations for SMART Project Outline (Deadline January 16th 2025).
This year, the event will be spread across two days. On October 29th, we will host pitching sessions in the morning to facilitate partnership building for your projects, followed by B2B meetings in the afternoon. On October 30th, we have arranged several visits to leading companies in the area, which we assure you will find very insightful.
Representatives of the industry, both large companies and SMEs, academia, research organisations and national funding agencies will be present at the event. Interacting with them will help you form the perfect consortium to submit a successful project proposal.
You will be able to share and find out the latest trends on Advanced manufacturing by presenting, discussing and developing new international R&D&I projects.
