Purpose and goal
The purpose and objective of the project w as to inform and engage actors in the Sw edish manufacturing industry , academia and research institutes about the possibilities of the European Platform for Innovation, education and entrepreneurship in production: KIC Added Value Manufacturing (KIC AVM).
An important prerequisite for engaging Sw edish actors is that they have a strong influence in the KIC. These conditions w ere changed by the EU in the middle of the project, why it w as closed in March , 2016.
The programme office for Produktion2030 has been responsible for this proj
Results and expected effects
Information about the possibilities and collaborations w ith the KIC AVM has been presented to Sw edish actors in the manufacturing industry, as w ell as to the Academy (The Sw edish Production Academy ) and research institutes ( RISE ). Communication material has been produced , articles and new sletters have been w ritten and tw o w orkshops have been held : at Sw erea IVF and at Teknikföretagen.
In March 2016 it w as decided by Produktion2030 programme office to terminate the project . Reason for this w as altered conditions from the EU, which greatly reduced Sw edish actors influence.
Approach and implementation
The project progressed according to plan until March 2016 , when the programme office for Produktion2030 decided to terminate the project , five months earlier than planned.
The reason for this w as the EU:s decision to greatly decrease the number of actors allow ed in the KIC-organization. Thus the nu,ber of Sw edish actors w ith influence in the KIC w as reduced to 2-4 partners.
The consequence of the premature ending of the project is remaining funds in the budget.
