The ATTRACT Pre-Final Conference concluded successfully, highlighting the remarkable progress of the 36 projects funded under ATTRACT phase 2. Held in Grenoble, France, the event brought together researchers, students, and professors providing a platform for sharing their potential and envisioning future developments.
The ATTRACT Pre-Final Conference, held at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) in Grenoble, France, was a crucial event for ATTRACT phase 2. It brought together a large community of researchers and innovators to explore technological advancements with the potential to address critical societal challenges and push the boundaries of scientific discovery. Specifically, it provided an excellent opportunity for the 18 R&D&I-funded projects to showcase their progress and potential impact.
ATTRACT, an initiative run by research infrastructures, industry experts, and business and innovation specialists, recently hosted its anticipated Pre-Final Conference at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) in Grenoble, France. This event, held on June 12-13, spotlighted the progress and potential of the 36 cutting-edge projects funded under ATTRACT phase 2.
AHEAD, an R&D&I project under ATTRACT phase 2, aims at providing technology bricks enabling in situ sensing, heating and energy harvesting from fluids to achieve standalone measurements and data transmission. The project seeks to validate these developments to Technology Readiness Level 7 through two specific use cases: Mechanically Pumped Loops (MPL) for space applications and CO2-based industrial refrigeration systems.
Nowadays, the commercialisation of scientific and technological innovations is crucial for economic and social advancement. However, one of the biggest challenges is transforming scientific discoveries into viable market products and services.
