The MASTERLY project achieved a significant milestone by making its debut appearance at the EFFRA Manufacturing Partnership Days, held in Brussels on May 7th and 8th. Co-organized by EFFRA, alongside the Factories of the Future and Made in Europe projects, this event, now in its second edition, served as a hub for the entire manufacturing research community, providing a platform to showcase ongoing project initiatives and discuss future directions and the exploitation of results. The event is organized around themes framing manufacturing innovation today, such as manufacturing excellence, resilience, circularity in manufacturing, skills, and the future of work.

For MASTERLY, this participation was a valuable opportunity to introduce the project to a diverse audience, including members of the EFFRA board, representatives from the European Commission, the industrial sector, and the scientific community. During the event, we presented our project through a comprehensive PowerPoint presentation and an engaging pitch. Additionally, a video highlighting the essence of the project was displayed on screens. We had the chance to showcase our project through a booth, providing an interactive platform to engage with visitors and address any questions about the project and its partners. This hands-on approach allowed for deeper discussions and engagement.

Being invited to participate in this event served as a crucial networking platform, enabling us to engage with other European projects and exchange best practices, strategies, and results, all in pursuit of a common European objective: making Europe the leading force in productive, flexible, human-centric, and sustainable manufacturing. The EFFRA Manufacturing Partnership Days is a forum for collaboration and innovation, and we are excited about the potential synergies and collaborations that lie ahead. As we continue our journey, we remain committed to advancing our mission of driving positive change in European manufacturing.
