The project partners Apro Formazione, Göteborgs Tekniska College, Politeknika Txorierri, and Hellenic Mediterranean University carried out a first cycle of pilot presentations and online learning activities between the end of November and the beginning of December. The online educational content, developed within the project, has been freely available to the public for pilot testing since December 1.
In particular, the Apro Formazione team, as project coordinator, organized four events—two online and two in-person—targeted respectively at teachers and trainers, and at companies, professionals, and stakeholders interested in advanced manufacturing, digital transformation, and Industry 5.0. The activities were organized in collaboration with the partners Politecnico di Torino, ATSTeam3D, and B&B Automation, as well as with the associated partner Siemens.
During the online events, Raffaella Menconi, Education Program Manager at Siemens Italy, highlighted the importance of using innovative educational content to address the current skills mismatch in the Italian and European labour markets.
During the in-person events, Luca Ulrich and Chiara Innocente from Politecnico di Torino presented the potential of Extended Reality across different application areas with a talk entitled “The Augmented Human Paradigm in Industry 5.0.” Fabio Ottolini from ATSTeam3D illustrated the opportunities offered by virtual commissioning in industrial contexts, while Marco Bellini from B&B Automation shared his experience as a company partner in a European project.
The activities saw the participation of numerous teachers, professionals, and companies interested in the project from the partnership countries, but also from Germany and Turkey. Stay tuned to keep up to date with upcoming events, starting with the project presentation in Bulgaria, organized by the Ruse Chamber of Commerce, and other project activities.
