ATTRACT Pre-Final Conference: meet the 8 Socioeconomic Studies
ATTRACT serves as a catalyst for integrating science into society, transforming innovative ideas into concrete solutions for a better future. This initiative is a collaboration between major research infrastructures, industry leaders, and business experts, aiming to enhance people’s lives by developing new products, services, companies, and jobs.
ATTRACT Pre-Final Conference: explore the 10 Student Programmes
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.
ATTRACT Pre-Final Conference: discover the 18 R&D&I funded projects
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 Pre-Final Conference: shaping the future of innovation and collaboration
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.
ATTRACT stories: behind the AHEAD project
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.
New insights into Scientists’ Entrepreneurial Self-Efficacy within the ATTRACT ecosystem
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.
Reflecting on 40 Years of EU Research: analysing future frontiers in science and innovation
This year, the European Union commemorates 40 years since the launch of its first Framework Programme (FP) for research. To mark this milestone, Science|Business hosted its public annual Network conference gathering global leaders in science, technology, and innovation to discuss the achievements of the FPs, their future directions, and the role of science and technology in shaping the next four decades.
How can the European Union build up its innovation ecosystem to reach net zero?
What are the key priorities for climate-related research in the short and medium terms? How can EU funding support and leverage the success of green tech incubators, entrepreneurs and international cooperation? These are some of the questions that were discussed at the Science|Business Green Deal & Climate days event, which was held in Brussels on September 18-19 and supported by ATTRACT.
The ATTRACT project was presented at the TIPP 2023
During the last edition of the 6th Technology and Instrumentation in Particle Physics (TIPP 2023), the ATTRACT project was presented by Pablo García Tello who shared some of the lessons learnt during the two phases of this project that could prove insightful for understanding the process of managing R&D&I Innovation Ecosystems.
