Project Detail

Addivite Manufacturing Training Network

Leader : CESOL

Description:  The stronger the networks available on a subject, the more effectively distance education programs related to that subject are established and developed. Within the scope of the project, all communication networks established across the EU come together on a single platform. The digital alliance network, where each project partner works on AM through this platform with transnational collaborations, targets relevant institutions/organizations, professionals, NGOs, volunteers, local governments, and citizens at the EU level. This network enables participants to connect around common interests, goals, and values, creating synergy and fostering development in a sustainable environment.

The creation of a comprehensive AM Education Network at the EU level, which currently does not exist, represents an innovative approach. This cooperation is strengthened by establishing a network between relevant institutions and creating a digital network that includes partners and NGOs. By presenting trainings to the public more simply and making them accessible, the network increases sustainability by ensuring the interactive continuation of active education initiated by learning-teaching activities.

As a result, NGOs receive training through this network across EU countries, enhancing their capacities. The Additive for Green Competition, exclusive to platform members, will distinguishe this initiative. The competition will promote the platform and highlights the green deal approach of AM, an emerging production method of the future.

Through this network, sharing a complete training program that addresses training needs equally and accessibly increases the capacity of individuals working in this field who are open to development, accelerating the widespread adoption of additive manufacturing. Additionally, AM initiatives use this network to collaborate with institutions in need of AM expertise.
