Icarus Project

Between the 7th and 11th November Dr Luca Gualtieri from the University of Bolzano visited the Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering at the University of Malta. During his stay Dr Gualtieri gave a series of lectures on Human-Robot Interaction and used the Icarus Industry 4.0 Mobile Training Unit as part of the discussions and demonstrations of various concepts. This shows how the ICARUS results are being exploited by the project partners even after the end of the project.

Last week Dr Ing Emmanuel Francalanza had the opportunity to attend the 4th Industry 4.0 and Smart Manufacturing ISM2022 Conference in Hagenberg, Linz.

During these sessions it was great to present our work on Education for Industry 4.0 and the ICARUS and BLISS projects! This was a great platform for discussing the use of the content developed during these projects, especially the ICARUS Industry4.0 Mobile Training Unit

Hekk kif il-proġett ICARUS jiġi fi tmiemu, ħerqana li nkomplu naħdmu fuq l-iżvilupp ta’ għodod ġodda u innovattivi għal edukazzjoni ogħla aħjar fil-qasam tal-manifattura.

As the ICARUS project comes to an end, we look forward to continue working on developing new and innovative tools for a better higher education in the field of manufacturing.

Project Co-ordinator Dr Ing Emmanuel last week discussed the ICARUS Erasmus+ (icarusproject.edu.mt) project and it's follow up implications with the Malta Chamber

A very exciting day for the ICARUS consortium today. ICARUS members presented the project results during the Multiplier Event held at the NOI Techpark in Bolzano, Italy. This was followed by the final project meeting amongst the ICARUS partners.

ICARUS members are today attending and presenting ICARUS project results at the 1st International Symposium on Industrial Engineering and Automation in Bolzano, Italy

ICARUS Project Training Event Organised at UM Between 22 and 24 May 2022

This week the Department of Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering at UM hosted the Learning, Teaching, Training Activity as part of the Icarus Project. Partners from KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, University of Minho, UPB CAMIS shared a wonderful experience and contributed towards this activity. At the centre of this activity was the ICARUS Mobile Training Unit and the Digital Training Toolbox. Details of these can be found on our website: icarusproject.edu.mt, including the free and open educational resources for Industry 4.0. Erasmus+ & European Solidarity Corps - EUPA Malta

Amazing kick-off to the ICARUS Learning, Teaching, Training Activity (LTTA) this morning at the Old University Building in Valletta, Malta. Great participation by all the partners, and excellent discussions ongoing!

ICARUS Project Coordinator Dr Ing Emmanuel Francalanza disseminated the results developed during the project and the upcoming ISIEA conference at the kick-off of the funded project in which we will talk about and implement actions in engineering education.

Amazing dissemination about the ICARUS project being carried out by UPB CAMIS!!

We are very excited that today the ICARUS partners have started to launch the project results.

The Technical University of Bucharest have presented the final results of the Erasmus+ funded project ICARUS which resulted an innovative Digital Toolbox and Compendium for a HEI Modular Course on Industry 4.0.

The ICARUS project partners met at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm Sweden on the 4th of March for a very productive meeting in the wonderful setting of the XPRES - Excelence in Production Research Lab

ICARUS project members met online last week to discuss the progress carried out in the past months. As the project nears its final phases all participants are busy finalising the results which will soon be shared with the public. Stay tuned for further announcements in the coming months!

On the 5th of November Dr Ing Emmanuel Francalanza presented the results of the ICARUS project at the Chamber of Engineering 28th Annual Engineering Conference, Industry 4.0 | Engineering a Smarter Industry. The ICARUS project was well received and participants were very interested in the open digital training toolbox for Industry 4.0 being developed by the ICARUS partners

On the 5th November 2021, Dr Ing Emmanuel Francalanza will be presenting the ICARUS project at the Industry 4.0: Engineering a Smarter Industry Conference Organised by the Maltese Chamber of Engineers
