The AMULET consortium, together with the thematic group of experts, provided educational support in both technical-related knowledge and business topics. The exact topics covered were selected based on the needs of the SMEs in the AMULET network, and covered the six lightweight cross-cutting areas:
- material supply and development;
- characterization and modelling aspects;
- design and smart functions;
- manufacturing (including digitalization and industry 4.0);
- assembly and joining; and
- circular economy.
The trainings were combined (online) sessions, such as live webinars, downloadable pdfs as well and video courses to reach a wide scala of SME’s. These materials are available for a wide audience and you can find them on our YouTube channel or in the repository available here: https://amulet-h2020.eu/repository/
Besides the general technical training materials, business-to-business coaching was offered.
To successfully implement new products and services at a high market-readiness level, these innovative ideas must comply with certain requirements. AMULET supported SMEs, to start with the winning solutions, with business-oriented topics such as IP management and technology transfer, market research, internationalization, business planning, technological surveillance, competitive intelligence, regulations and standards, commercialization strategies and digital transformation.
SMEs could apply for this coaching through registration on the website and were screened for eligibility. Priority for business-to-business coaching was given to SMEs directly involved in the AMULET challenges.
The funding instrument facilitated by AMULET included lumpsum grants and coaching sessions by a team of experts from the AMULET network.
