CiSMAT for Entrepreneurs
Beyond our specific areas of research, we wish to use our varied and complementary skills to help our students, colleagues, partners and start-up founders to test the technical feasibility of new concepts and possible innovative solutions to challenging problems. This work is carried out in particular within the framework of « Innochecks » projects, and Master theses. Technical feasibility studies can also be strongly supported by the KWF (see “Start F&E” Program).
Here, we also collaborate with the WING Department (Industrial Engineering and Management) at CUAS.
Education@CiSMAT
We offer advanced trainings in the fields of Smart Materials & 3D printing.
Our 1st CiSMAT Certificate Course on Smart Materials & 3D Printing has been completed in June 2021.
