The continuous trend towards miniaturization and multi-functionality embedded in products and processes calls for an ever increasing innovation, research and development within the European manufacturing sector.
A necessary condition for the European productive sector to be at the global forefront of technology, ensuring job creation and sustainable growth, is to have access to innovative, entrepreneurial, highly skilled research engineers in the fields of micro manufacturing, micro product/process development and quality control.
The MICROMAN ITN will provide world excellent research training to 13 Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) in the field of micro manufacturing proposing:
1. innovative process fingerprint framework for zero-defect net-shape micro manufacturing
2. cutting edge inter-disciplinary training in different micro manufacturing technologies
3. validation of technologies in industry for the production of micro component for the bio-medical, health-care, machine tool, pharmaceutical, quality control sectors.
