Identifying future collaboration opportunities in a creative way.

On 13 June, KU Leuven Materials Department (MTM) hosted the Creative PyroFlex and ResiduFlex Partners Meeting within the framework of the EIT RawMaterials Network of Infrastructure (NoI).

The meeting of 12 partners from five different EU countries was kicked-off with a swift visit to the Hi-Temp and SREMat laboratories. The rest of the morning consisted of concise project status presentations followed by group interactions looking at retrieving solutions to address most pressing project issues. During the afternoon, the Partners Pitching Session took place. Each one shared their activities and interests with the group. This was followed by a creative brainstorming session to detect common interests for future collaboration.
