NIDIATA - Education Network on Integrated and Multi-Scale Design of Innovative Light Alloys Castings for Transport Applications

MTP Theme:

Education

The main Objective of the Project is to accelerate the process of knowledge-transfer in the field of light alloys castings for transport applications. Such a target will be achieved via some intermediate objectives:

-    set up a network of Research Institutions and Industrial Partners carrying out worldwide research activities in the field of integrated design and production of innovative light alloys castings;
-    set up educational tools, both conventional (meetings, students and personnel exchange) and innovative (web-based), in order to make available materials and design “frontier” information to students and engineers;
-    supply, by means of the above mentioned tools, innovative knowledge to students and engineers.
These actions will finally lead to an efficient exchange of information and knowledge among Partners having, in their respective region, a key role in light alloy casting, design and engineering, product optimisation.

NADIA is an IP-SMEs Project aimed at improving competitiveness of 13 EU SMEs engaged in simultaneous engineering and production of novel high technology transport components to exploit the potential of light multifunctional alloys for car and truck. NADIA is co-ordinated by EnginSoft, Hi Tech SME,  and addresses multi-level S&T objectives:  Engineering & Production, Applied RTD and Basic Research.
