Workshop on Integration of Simulations and Experiments for Advanced Industrial Applications

A workshop titled Integration of Simulations and Experiments for Advanced Industrial Applications, organised by the Institute of Technical Sciences of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, was held on 13 January, at the Hall 3 of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts.

The workshop was organised within the framework of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions and a European doctoral training network funded by the European Union, and took place on the occasion of a visit by distinguished researchers from Germany and Chile to the Institute of Technical Sciences of SASA.

During the workshop, current research results and industrial activities within the BLESSED, ULTIMATE-I and HIP-2d-QM projects, funded by the European Union, were presented. The presentation focused on the following topics: fuel cells and functional materials, advanced simulation methods, and textiles for optical and space applications.

The programme  also included lectures by leading researchers in the field of advanced materials and technologies for clean energy and high-tech applications: Dr Matthias Baldofski (Freudenberg TI, Germany) delivered a lecture entitled Next-generation PEM Fuel Cells: Multiscale Modelling, while Dr Carlos Garcia from the Federico Santa María Technical University (Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María, Chile)  gave a lecture entitled Advances in Mirror Design for Telescopes and Satellites.
