CERN, in the framework of the EIROforum, and with the support of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Rhône-Alpes, member of Enterprise Europe Network, and of EuCARD-2, organizes the first Workshop for Science and Business on Advanced Materials and Surfaces (WAMAS). The event will take place at CERN, Globe of Science and Innovation, 19-20 November 2013.

Experts in the research and industrial sector will exchange knowledge on the latest developments in the fields of Advanced Materials and Surfaces in order to establish new R&D partnerships and business collaborations.

The two-day event is an initiative of the EIROforum Working Group on Innovation Management and Knowledge-Technology Transfer. With the involvement of the eight major research organizations in Europe, the workshop will facilitate the sharing of their extensive expertise in these areas of research and favor the creation of knowledge bridges with industry.

Representatives from the EIROforum Organizations will showcase their current offer in terms of technologies, services and know-how related to advanced materials and surfaces development and characterization, as well as their short-medium term needs, such as challenging requirements of future procurement actions. Companies will present their available products, on-going R&D programmes and business development perspectives.

The last session of the workshop, co-organized with the Enterprise Europe Network, will be fully dedicated to B2B meetings between research centers and industry representatives.
