"syntral" presents itself at the Composites United Project Forum

On January 18th, the annual project forum took place on the virtual event platform CU Mixup.World of Composites United e. V. (CU). Over 20 innovative projects were presented, including the "syntral - Synergetic Transfer Space Lusatia" project. Dr. Mike Thieme from the project coordinator, the Institute of Lightweight Engineering and Polymer Technology ILK, presented the project, one of 12 transfer rooms in Germany.
Once a year, the Composites United project forum offers association members the opportunity to gain exclusive insights into research projects and information on progress and developments.
The project partners of the T!Raum initiative "syntral - Synergetic Transfer Space Lusatia", which is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, used the event to present the project and its objectives. 
The aim of "syntral" is to transfer the knowledge and technologies of universities and research institutions into industrial value creation in the Lusatia region. In particular, it addresses the plastics and metal processing companies that provide over 60,000 jobs in Saxony and Brandenburg. The goals of "syntral" are ambitious: The aim is to establish a nationally visible industrial cluster in resource-efficient lightweight system construction in Lusatia, to realise the transfer of existing regional innovations at eye level with SMEs and to increase the attractiveness of training through new, digitalised decentralised offerings. The project also aims to vitalise and network existing regional cluster structures in new subject areas in Lusatia on a supra-regional level.

Project coordinator Dr. Mike Thieme was enthusiastic after the event: "The project forum not only offered us a stage to present our project. The opportunities for interaction in the digital exhibition also enabled active dialogue and the cross-industry exchange of knowledge and experience with other initiatives. We were able to show our approaches to how innovation and knowledge transfer can go hand in hand and present how we want to network the regional business landscape, promote skilled labour and transfer research findings into a sustainable and resilient structure."
