Lifelong Learning for lightweighting professionals
Lightweight materials are a fast-growing sector. The main factor driving this growth is the increasing demand for fuel-efficient, less polluting and better-performing transportation systems. Companies manufacturing vehicle parts are experiencing a growing demand for lightweight components, and together with research centres and educational institutions, are facing challenges in introducing innovative yet cost-effective and safe solutions that can cope with diverse technological constraints.
One big challenge is how to reduce the weight with the same or lower production cost and the same or better product performance, compared to the traditional solution. Ensuring that technical and managerial staff are fully up-to-date with the latest in lightweight technologies is therefore a key to enabling innovation and increased competitiveness in the industry. The professional training concept underlying in the Lightweight Professional courses addresses the designing and handling rules for new materials.
