NSBproject took part in Materials Day, the Italian National event organised by APRE, represented by Riccardo Varotto. The event brought together key stakeholders from the European advanced materials ecosystem, providing a valuable opportunity to discuss emerging policy priorities, innovation strategies, and future research and funding opportunities.
Among the highlights of the programme was the keynote intervention by Carsten Schierenbeck from the European Commission, who outlined the evolving European policy and innovation landscape. His presentation emphasised the strategic importance of advanced materials in strengthening Europe’s industrial competitiveness and addressing future societal and technological challenges, while reaffirming the essential role of collaboration across the research and innovation community.
The event also offered practical insights into the upcoming Horizon Europe funding landscape. Serena Borgna presented an overview of forthcoming calls and funding opportunities, providing useful guidance for organisations preparing future research and innovation proposals.
NSBproject also welcomed the comprehensive updates shared by Eva Schillinger, whose continued commitment to fostering cooperation within the Innovative Advanced Materials Initiative (IAM-I) community plays a key role in strengthening connections among stakeholders and supporting the development of Europe’s advanced materials ecosystem.
Participation in Materials Day further reinforces NSBproject’s commitment to contributing to collaborative European research and innovation initiatives. By actively engaging with the IAM-I community and its partners, the company continues to support the development of innovative solutions, build strategic collaborations, and prepare for future Horizon Europe opportunities.
NSBproject looks forward to continuing its active involvement in the European advanced materials community and contributing to projects that accelerate innovation and sustainable industrial growth.
