The challenge is part of the EU project INDUSAC and is open to students from public universities across Europe.
The INDUSAC project designs a state-of-the-art mechanism for industry-academia collaboration, based on human-centered design principles that facilitate rapid project co-creation. At least 300 international co-creation projects will be selected for implementation to validate the mechanism. These micro-projects, led by teams of students, researchers, and company staff, cover a wide range of activities targeting various industrial sectors. They aim to bridge the gap between business and academia.
The goal of the project is to develop and validate an advanced Industry-Academia Collaboration mechanism for swift, challenge-driven, human-centered co-creation.
The INDUSAC project focuses on four key areas:
Circularity
General Sustainability
Digitalisation
Industry 4.0
