Partner Categories
EIT Manufacturing has three types of partner categories:
- Industry partners
- Academic partners
- Research and Technology Organisation partners
-
Our industry partners have an extensive footprint covering multiple sectors, including automotive, aerospace, process industry, machinery and equipment, electronics, ICT, medical technologies, and consumer goods. This diversity supports cross-sector innovation and learning, and allows us to cover the entire product lifecycle, from concept and design to manufacturing and maintenance
-
Our academic partners include universities that are globally recognised for academic and innovation performance. They provide the educational capacity, curricula and top-level academic qualifications required to reach our educational goals. Along with excellent technical competencies, they also have great expertise and experience in novel approaches to manufacturing education.
-
Our Research and Technology Organisation (RTO) partners contribute broad competencies and specialised expertise in major manufacturing enabling technologies. They bring a high-end innovation eco-system and technological assets – such as innovation labs, test beds, fablabs and maker spaces – to be used in innovation processes. All RTO partners are currently active in European strategic initiatives for manufacturing innovation, and some of them have also played a major role in coordinating the efforts and/or representing the community in relevant initiatives.
