SUMMARY:TOP STARS 2017 EIT RawMaterials Winter School
DESCRIPTION:TOP STARS 2017 – innovaTion challenge fOr PhD STudents And ReSearchers\, has an emphasis on ways of applying the currently available techniques in improving the everyday life & business activities. Topics of challenges proposed by companies are introduced through presentations\, tutorials and workshops on approaches focused on techniques to assess and promote feasible solutions on both technical and business aspect. Enhancing entrepreneurial skills and specific business capacities from idea to a clear business proposition remains the key objective of the winter school. \nThe winter school offers PhD students and young researchers a unique hands-in opportunity to address a societal challenge in the Raw Materials framework by combining the technical expertise with innovation and entrepreneurship experience. For about two weeks\, students will work in teams to identify a technical solution and develop it into a business proposal. The winter school will introduce students to entrepreneurial thinking and behaviour\, business and innovation processes\, high-tech ventures marketing\, and business model generation techniques. This experience will help to foster a community of students among various universities and to create an interaction with companies and start-ups operating in the specific field. \nRegistration\nRegistration deadline is 4 October 2017. \nPlease register here.

SUMMARY:EIT RawMaterials at the Future of Materials Summit
DESCRIPTION:On 13-14 November the Future of Materials Summit will be held in Luxembourg. \nAdvances in 3D printing\, robotics\, extreme customisation and high-performance computing are just some of the elements that will shape the future of manufacturing. But nothing will impact how things are made\, and what they are capable of\, more than the materials manufacturers use. From programmable matter to smart polymers and self-healing concrete\, new materials are set to transform our lives. \nBut that is only “may be”. Human beings are still inefficient at turning raw materials into useful ones\, and useful ones in products. The road from discovery to production is long and strewn with pitfalls. There are many examples of wonder materials\, much hyped at the time\, that have failed to deliver the advantages they promised. And even modern manufacturing methods can be wasteful and polluting. \nThe Future of Materials Summit will thus analyse the modern materials “ecosystem”\, from research and development\, via supply chains\, to business applications. Its purpose will be to address such questions as: How can this ecosystem be made more efficient and environmentally friendly? How can materials’ performances be improved throughout their life cycles – from the moment they are made to the moment they are recycled after their job is done? How can governments encourage manufacturers to develop new materials and to refine their production methods – if\, indeed\, such encouragement is thought necessary? And how are new ways of designing and manufacturing things reshaping industry? \nIn the spirit of debate and curiosity that defines The Economist\, the Future of Materials Summit will bring together leading manufacturers\, scientists\, technologists and policymakers for a discussion intended to help crystallise what is happening\, and to illuminate the role of novel materials in the manufacturing industries of the future. \nEIT RawMaterials at the Future of Materials Summit\nEIT RawMaterials Chief Executive Officer\, Dr Karen Hanghøj will give a speech in the panel discussion ‘Best practices for new materials’ development’\, on Monday 13 November at 11:55 a.m. \nFor registration and for more information visit the Summit’s webpage.
