Project motivation

The motivation to initiate the project is founded in a desire and necessity to improve the current state described below:

  • Virtually no cross-border research and development activities, in particular with regard to small-to-medium-sized businesses dealing with polymers and polymer processing technology;
  •  Slovenia in particular has a need for knowledge transfer and collaboration between businesses and   research institutions in the field of polymers and polymer processing technology;
  • Potential synergies between businesses and research institutions are rarely recognised and utilized;
  • The research infrastructure of the Slovenian research and educational institutions is not adequately equipped to engage in high-quality R&D activities. Collaborations between commerce, education and R&D are therefore only possible to a limited extent;
  • There is a significant need for new know-how and training possibilities for employees in small-to-medium-sized businesses operating in the field of polymers and polymer technology.
