Between February 10 and 12, Brussels hosted the RTR conference, dedicated to presenting the results of Horizon Europe projects. In addition to representatives of the SRIP ACS+ project office, nine of our members who are important partners in European projects were also present.
The International RTR Conference is held under the auspices of the European Commission and European associations operating in the automotive industry and mobility sector. Every year, it brings together hundreds of participants, this year over 700, who are involved in European projects. In this way, the conference offers an excellent insight into the joint efforts of science and industry to solve pressing technological challenges.
We are extremely proud that nine of our members are among the representatives of various consortia, contributing significantly to the development of niche solutions at the European level with their expertise. These are Elaphe, the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of the University of Ljubljana, the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the University of Ljubljana, GoOpti (Abelium), Hidria, the National Institute of Chemistry, Kolektor, Magneti, and ZAG Zavod Za Gradbeništvo. We apologize if we have overlooked any of our members due to parallel presentations.
We congratulate everyone and wish them successful project completions.
