At SMART our aim is to promote collaborative, international & close-to-market R&D&I projects.
As a Eureka Cluster, SMART is grounded in Europe and open to worldwide participants from the Eureka Network.
Manufacturing is a vital sector worldwide, fundamental for the development towards a competitive sustainable globalization. Advanced manufacturing is strongly addressed in most political agendas as a key enabler that will lead society towards a higher industrial competitiveness, sustainable growth and job creation.
SMART’s mission is to boost the competitiveness, growth and attractiveness of the discrete manufacturing industries through the promotion of R&D&I in an open community of industrial organisations: large industries, SMEs, associations; RTOs and academia.
SMART will open a call for organisations collaborating internationally on the R&D of advanced manufacturing projects on 16 September 2024 with a deadline of 2 June 2025 for applications. By applying and participating, your organisation can access national public funding for your R&D project.
