PROJECT GOALSTo create a strong, competitive and sustainable PolyRegion by creating a cross‐border network between education, R&D and industry, with:

Identification of core competencies and knowledge Development of an active and internationally competitive partnership between R&D institutions and the educational institutions Promotion of collaboration, exchange and knowledge transfer between businesses and research institutionsJoint educational activities and B2B meetingsStudent and proffesor exchangesConsolidation and dissemination of the region’s know‐how and competencies by developing the brand PolyRegionOrganisation of international events for expanding knowledge and exchanging experiences

TRAINING PROGRAMMESGoal: To develop at least five new training programs based on the needs of the companies in PolyRegion

4 training program implemented:• Introduction to polymers, Celje• Mould planning and maintainance, Celje• The importance of material data for IM simulation, Leoben• Composites (March 2015)

SEMINARS, CONFERENCES AND B2B‘S• Goal: To provide new knowledge about trends in different

fields in the area of PMT and to facilitate the process ofnetworking between companies, companies and R&D institutions,…

• 3 Seminars and B2B‘s implemented• Seminar and B2B in Celje – Plagkem• Seminar and B2B in Phillips ‐ Klagenfurt• Seminar and B2B ICIT conference ‐ Ljubljana

• 1 conference• Chalalnges in extrusion of polymers ‐ Leoben

JOINT R&D PROJECTTitle: New methods and materials for injection moulding

• new method for sound detection• new biodegradable polymers for home composting• process optimisation

Goal: The main goal was to implement a joint R&D project, whichwill be a good practice for future cooperation between the R&D institutions in PolyRegion. 

Results of the R&D projects are published on www.polyregion.org

NETWORKING PROJECTS• Goal: To implement a new way of cooperation between R&D 

institutions and companies (transfer of knowledge andexperiences from Austria – MUL). 

• 2 networking projects• Composites with (Natural) fibres• Packeging for food industry
