Industrial Technologies for Schools

Industrial Technologies for Schools is a national outreach activity organised in the context of the Industrial Technologies 2014 Conference, participated by student teams from eleven Greek schools. The activity aims at acquainting students with modern industrial technologies, including nanotechnologies, advanced materials and new production technologies. It will engage them in a debate about the relevance of industrial technologies with the grand societal challenges of Europe (e.g. resources efficiency, ageing society, innovative societies etc.).

At the second stage of the activity, the school teams have addressed the question “What can NMP technologies do for addressing the grand societal challenges with a view to year 2020?” and conceptualised a product / service based on advanced NMP technologies that may address in a novel way an everyday life problem associated with Europe’s Grand Societal Challenges. On Friday, 11th of April 2014 (Conference Day 3), a dedicated workshop will take place, where all school teams participating in the activity will present their ideas on stage. The competition results will be announced at the end of the Workshop and an award will be given to the winning teams.
