INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGIES FOR SCHOOLS:
BACKGROUND
The activity has the following objectives:
•
Acquaint students with modern industrial technologies, including
nanotechnologies, advanced materials and new production technologies
•
Engage them in a debate about the relevance of industrial technologies
with the grand societal challenges of Europe (e.g. resources efficiency,
ageing society, innovative societies etc.)
•
Promote creative thinking through a project-based competition:
 Use of industrial technologies to address in a novel way everyday life
problems associated with Europe’s Grand Societal Challenges
 Conceptualize a new product / service
•
Enable students to actively participate in the Conference, present their
ideas and interact with the European Industrial Technologies community

INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGIES FOR SCHOOLS:
PROCEDURE
PART 2
Students will be posed with the question:
“What can NMP technologies do for addressing the
grand societal challenges with a view to year 2020?”
and participate in a project competition
1.
Each school group will conceptualise a product / service based on
advanced NMP technologies that may contribute in addressing one of the
grand societal challenges
2.
Each school group will deliver a short report with their ideas
3.
Some dedicated space will be reserved in the posters areas at the
Conference site, where each school group will present their ideas on a
poster
