Taking into account the health and safety requirements and recommendations, we will organise a fully virtual (online) event. While we would have liked very much to interact with you face-to-face, we aim at embracing fully again the opportunities offered by the virtual setting. In particular, this is an opportunity to invite and involve various stakeholders from your region and from your own organisation, who will be able (without having to travel to Brussels) to attend distinct sessions.

Among others, the members will have the opportunity to:

• Pitch a new project idea, putting forward expertise and finding partners to address their remaining needs (a dedicated email with more information will follow soon);
• Be informed about funding opportunities (associated to innovation projects in the field of 3DP and, more generally, ‘advanced manufacturing’) and find complementary partners for dedicated Calls;
• Join or co-develop further the 3DP Pilot structural cooperation areas;
• Etc.

More information about the registration process and the detailed agenda will be sent very soon. Please note that the meeting will start at 9.30 am and is expected to end at 4.30 pm (TBC).

In addition, we take the opportunity to inform you about two other events that might be of interest to you/your colleagues:

• On the 25.01.2022 (from 11.00 to 12.00), the VI 3DP Pilot and CECIMO will organise a joint-event focusing on the role of facility centers in the growth of Additive Manufacturing. More information will follow but please already save the date!
