Project
By establishing the Foundry Center – SIMET, the Faculty of Metallurgy wants to strengthen research, development and innovation (IRI) capacities, improve the competencies of teaching staff and students and position the faculty and the metallurgical sector in terms of recognizing and activating its IRI potential. The purpose of establishing the Center is to network relevant stakeholders as a target group and enable the transfer of knowledge and skills, and will be in the function of research in the development of materials and technologies to potential users (primarily teaching staff and students) markets and the creation of the final product, then product development using specific technologies (CAD / CAE technologies), computer-aided design of product development processes and construction preparation, but through lifelong learning for students and professionals in economics.
The implementation of this project will stimulate the process of innovation, create a triple helix effect, ie unite the scientific research sector, government officials and the economy, which will consequently affect economic growth.
