- Changing role of factories: new challenges to factory planning
Future factories face challenges from a variety of domains. New business models, increasing environmental concerns, intelligent cities, advanced manufacturing and IT technologies, are just some of the main drivers that will reshape factories worldwide. Therefore, factory planners cannot focus solely on production matters anymore, both when designing new factories and when revamping existing ones. They have to increasingly take into account additional stakeholders (e.g. local community and city planners together with management) and identify sustainable solutions that are suitable for all of them. New methods and approaches can support factory planners to consider new challenges and perspectives of all relevant stakeholders.
The aim of the workshop is to:
- Start creating a hub of experts on sustainable factories
- Bring experts from different domains together, viewing factories in a larger context (the city, the community, etc.)
- Identify key drivers and factors affecting factories of the future
- Share experiences on approaches that can improve factory planning

- EMIRI - Bridging the Innovation Gap for Energy Materials
There is a lot of discussion about the valley of death and the difficulties of transposing research results into added value. EMIRI (Energy Materials Industrial Research Initiative) has been established to address these issues directly and offer the energy materials sector an industrially backed credible implementation mechanism for the SET Plan Materials Road Map.
EMIRI’s value proposition can be summarised as follows:
EMIRI is an ‘industrially’ driven association comprising leading companies and R&D stakeholders representing the full economic value chain throughout Europe and provides guidance, focus, direction and commitment to succeed in commercialising value added materials programmes for strategic low carbon energy applications fully in line with the SET Plan materials road map.
The aim of this workshop is to introduce EMIRI and demonstrate the strength of its approach by sharing real case studies. We will conclude with a panel questions and answers session where the audience is encouraged to ask for clarification, challenge and offer their own experience.

- Infrastructures
Infrastructure relates to the large physical networks necessary for a modern society. Infrastructure networks provide transport for people and goods as well as transport and distribution of energy, gaz and water. They are fundamental lifelines of today’s society. The quality of services they offer and their condition affects the competitiveness of the European industry and the quality of life of European citizens.
However, in the coming years, numerous challenges are expected to put the current system under pressure. On the internal market demographic changes, the inevitable adaptation to climate change, increasing energy costs and the need to minimise impact of human activities on the environment all present new challenges that need to be addressed within our lifetimes. On the external dimension, the process of globalisation will offer increasing opportunities for the European industry provided constraints and barriers will be removed.
Urgent action is necessary to transform our infrastructure networks into an accessible, efficient integrated and sustainable system to support European economic growth and human and social development, by upgrading and developing the infrastructure at reduced, affordable and controllable costs.

- Innovative Materials Based on Less-Common Elements, Environment and Processes
Although old in use, metals are still young in development. This workshop will demonstrate that metallic materials containing less-common and scarce metals, processed by unconventional means and developed for extreme environments and working conditions are playing an increasing role in modern technologies, especially for green energy, transport and communication, and nano-/micro-technology. Less-common and scarce elements like rare-earth metals, Sc, Zr, Nb etc. are considered as strategically important for Europe as they are mostly mined and produced outside the continent. The Council of Less Common Elements (CLCE) – an initiative of the Swiss Foundation of Rare Metals (ESM), Materials innovation institute M2i (NL), Delft University of Technology (NL) and Brunel University (UK) organise this workshop to bring together knowledge, experience and opinions from scientists and decision makers in technology and economy to discuss future technological strategies for Europe. Requirements of industry with respect to geopolitical, economical, ecological, social and scientific issues will be outlined by expert introductions. An interactive panel discussion between speakers and participants will be held in order to identify future European needs, also within future EU-funded programmes.

- SmartNets – Collaborative development and production of knowledge-intensive products & services
How can organisations work together to develop and to produce knowledge-intensive products and services? How can partners create and operate networks? And how can they manage the transition from development to production? These and other key questions of collaboration are addressed in the SmartNets project and will be targeted in this interactive workshop. Innovators from industry and research are invited to learn about most recent results from the project in short talks, to directly apply the results in hands-on practice and to bring in their own experience on collaboration in moderated discussions.
Objective of the first session is to present methods and tools for creating an appropriate infrastructure for collaborative development and production. A case study will illustrate what it means for the development and production networs in the project.
Introduction to the SmartNets project - scope and targeted results
The introductory presentation of the workshop will explain the main idea of the SmartNets project, its current status, the project’s targeted and achieved results and the approach followed in the workshop.Speaker: Armin Lau, DITF Denkendorf - Centre for Management Research
Towards Smart Networks - the SmartNet Guide - presentation and hands-on training
As a first step, participates will learn about specific networking capabilities which are required for successful collaboration. An approach for the systematic analysis and evaluation of appropriate networking skills and tools will be presented and a roadmap for the establishment and promotion of skills and tools will be introduced. Several practical examples will be the basis for a hands-on training and the discussion regarding the potential for application and adaptability in SME networks.Speaker: Sven Gross, WHU - Otto Beisheim School of Management
Case study: Application of SmartNets methods and tools in SME networks
One of the project’s industrial networks is focusing on high-end interior textiles. The presentation will demonstrate how the development will be supported to reach an efficient and sustainable industrial production. For that, workshop participants will be introduced to the product development of the Interior Textiles Network and will receive first-hand information about the application of methods and tools developed in the project.Speaker: Guy Buyle, Centexbel
In the second session, methods and tools will be presented and applied that use the provided infrastructure to facilitate collaboration. Furthermore, a case study from one of the project’s industrial networks will show how the results are applied in practice:Collaboration model for development and production
In this part of the workshop, the SmartNet Collaboration Model will be presented and discussed. The model addresses key questions of collaborative development and production by connecting a generic innovation process with potential internal and external actors in a network, and with methods for innovation management. Hands-on instructions will be given on how to apply the model in industrial practice and a discussion will focus on the practical value of the model for SME networks.Speaker: Armin Lau, DITF Denekendorf - Centre for Management Research
Selecting methods and contributors for development activities
Key issue for the operative work in collaborative development and production networks is to identify, to select and to involve the right contributors, as well as to choose and to apply appropriate methods, supporting activities at the right time. Taking up the implications of the SmartNet Collaboration Model, the presentation will demonstrate with an example from our project networks how to use the model to select partners, how to integrate them in the practical work, how to find suitable methods and how to involve partners in their execution.Speaker: Heiko Matheis, DITF Denkendorf - Centre for Management Research
Hybrid wiki systems supporting information exchange in networks
The web-based collaboration platform Tricia is used in SmartNets to support enterprise and cross-enterprise collaboration and information management. The software lets teams manage structured data (projects, issues, Meetings, events,...) and unstructured content (documents, ideas, notes,...) using the same concept. Participants will receive a hands-on training and practical information on the use of hybrid wikis in SmartNets and will discuss the use for their own development and production projects.Speaker: Nastaran Matthes, InfoAsset AG
