Marie Curie Linking Industry to CERN

MeChanICs2010-2014

The aim of the MeChanICs project is to enhance knowledge exchange in the filed of precision manufacturing. The project gathers five specialised precision manufacturer companies of excellence, of which one is an SME, to enhance their existing research and technology development (RTD) efforts with the University of Helsinki (UH) and CERN. The mechanisms used for the transfer of knowledge within MeChanICs are two-way intersectional secondments and dissemination workshops.
