ATTRACT is an initiative enabling the transition of the technology generated mainly for fundamental research purposes toward industrial and societal applications. It aims to streamline this process by creating an innovation ecosystem that reduces risk through funding and expertise. Furthermore, it also seeks to connect researchers with young innovators and potential investors to maximise the benefits of the new technologies to society.
On June 12-13, the Pre-Final Conference took place at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF), and this was an excellent opportunity to convene the entire ATTRACT ecosystem as coordinators of the funded projects presented the progress they made over the past months. Regarding the Student Programmes, coordinators not only presented their results to date but also attended the Trainer’s workshop, which allowed them to reflect comprehensively on the projects, identify key insights and potential collaborations, participate in a knowledge-sharing activity, and engage in dynamic mapping of the skills and knowledge areas developed during phase 2.

In addition to the presentations and workshop, during the second day of the conference, participants attended the Student Exposition. This special event provided students with the opportunity to showcase prototypes they developed using ATTRACT technologies, aimed at addressing different social challenges.
