From January – February 2020, the SYNERGY Project team is carrying out the Online Pilot Action “Rent-A-Robot / Infrastructure Sharing” bringing together infrastructure providers with potential infrastructure takers to develop joint infrastructure solutions in the thematic areas of Additive Manufacturing, Industry 4.0 and Micro-& Nanotechnology. Current infrastructure providers comprise companies, research institutions and universities across Europe which are listed and can accessed via the SynPro IT-Tool within the recently published Synergic Crowd Innovation Platform.
