In the week from 10th to 13th September 2024 the 2nd IPPT_TWINN Summer school on Advanced Technologies in Injection Molding took place on the premises of  Faculty of Polymer Technology in Slovenj Gradec (Slovenia).

At the beginning of July, the 14th workshop was organized at partner institution Polymer Competence Center in Leoben, Austria.

The 13th workshop took place at the premises of the Polymer Competence Center in Leoben, Austria from 19th to 20th June 2024.

The recycling of bio-based materials is one of the challenges of the future and is of concern to sectors such as aeronautics, construction and the automotive industry.

European and American universities and different entities have come together in this conference.

The 12th workshop took place in Centro Cultural La Corrala, Madrid, Spain as the final conference of three BBI-JU-funded projects (Bizente, Enzycle, and Recover). The title of the event was Three Bio Paths, One Solution for Plastics.

The first day of the 11th workshop occurred at Spanish National Reasearch Council (CSIC) in Madrid, Spain, where workshop participants got a brief overview on their research topics, research equipment, and collaboration between Aitiip and CSIC. The following two days took place at the partner institution Aitiip, Zaragoza, Spain. The first day at Aitiip started with a presentation of the institution's research topics and capabilities.

The 10th workshop took place at the partner institution IWK (Institut für Werkstofftechnik und Kunststoffverarbeitung) in Rapperswil, Switzerland.

As part of the weekly exchanges of FTPO researchers and technical associates, assistant Rebeka Lorber and technical associate Rajko Bobovnik went to the Polymer Competence Center Leoben (PCCL) from 10. to 15. March  2024. 

Within the weekly exchanges of FTPO researchers, Assoc. prof. dr. Klementina Pusnik Črešnar was in February hosted at the Center AITIIP in Zaragoza (Spain). AITIIP center is known for its research, development and innovation in the field materials, especially in the development of recycled plastics materials. Research work, led by Julio Vidal (PhD) and Klementina Pušnik Črešnar (PhD), was based on the development of an important environmental topic, that is, how to promote the recycling of thermosets with nanotechnology.

The 9h Workshop on T-RTM technology was held at Budapest University of Technology and Economics in Budapest, Hungary.

On September 21 and 22, 2023, as part of the IPPT_TWINN project, the 1.st international conference on topic Challenges, trends and solutions in developing and processing recycled polymer materials was organized. The conference was organized and held at Faculty of Polymer Technology in Slovenj Gradec, Slovenia.

The 8th Workshop it was organized as two days event and held at  IWK - Institute for Plastic Processing and Material Technologies in Rapperswil, Switzerland from 16th and 17th November 2023.

The 7th Workshop was held at  IWK - Institute for Plastic Processing and Material Technologies in Rapperswil, Switzerland on 25th November 2023.

The two day Workshop was held at the premises of Budapest University of Technology and Economics on 24. and 25. October 2023.

The workshop started with a presentation by Curdin Wick about Institute for Materials Engineering and Plastics Processing. This was followed by the first lecture on Advanced Injection Moulding Technologies. 

The 3^rd IPPT_TWINN workshop at Aitiip provided an overview of 3D printing processes for polymers and metals and their trends from a cost efficiency and sustainability perspective.

Between August 28 and 31, 2023, the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME) hosted a summer school on the topic of composite technologies. The summer school was attended by 15 participants, including four FTPO representatives.

The workshop was held on the 15th and 16th of June 2023 at Centro Tecnologico (AITIIP) in  Zaragoza (Spain).

The workshop was opened on the 11^th of May with theoretical basics with  Dr. Bela Zink holding presentation on Injection moulding background, followed by presentation of Krizsma Szabolcs titled Trends in soft mould (RPT).

Our project partner from Polymer Competence Center Leoben (PCCL) is organizing the “International Symposium on Smart Materials” in Leoben (Austria), June 14-15, 2023.

The 1^st IPPT_TWINN workshop on additive manufacturing was successfully conducted in April 2023 at the project partner IWK in Rapperswil. 

On 12th January 2023 the leading partner of the project IPPT_TWINN Faculty of Polymer Technology organized a kick-off meeting in Slovenj Gradec.
