Engineering for sustainable and digital industry
European industries need to lead the way in going digital and green. Beyond boosting efficiency, this vision focuses on making workplaces better for people and the planet. By embracing innovation and research, industries can stay competitive while supporting sustainability.
Human-machine interaction
We’re improving how people and machines work together, making processes smoother, more intuitive, and more productive across all sectors.
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
This initiative develops and uses AI to solve problems, boost innovation, and open new opportunities for growth in society and the economy.
Additive manufacturing
We’re driving progress in 3D printing to help industries become more sustainable and efficient, with less waste and more customisation.
Circularity
Our work promotes a circular economy where materials are reused and recycled. This reduces waste, saves resources, and makes industries more resilient.
