MANUNET III 2020 Call for Proposals is now open.

Dear Researcher,

The MANUNET III Project primarily aims to promote the development of new manufacturing technologies, particularly the participation of SMEs in manufacturing-related R&D activities, the growth of the manufacturing-based economy in the European region, and thus contribute to increasing the global competitiveness of the European manufacturing industry. Within the scope of the MANUNET III project, a fourth call for proposals is planned for 2020, focusing on the following topics:

• Knowledge-based engineering encompasses the use of information and communication technologies in manufacturing, including Industry 4.0 technologies (industrial robots, computer-aided engineering and design, production automation, zero-defect production, product lifecycle management, cyber-physical systems, IoT, control, big data, analytics, connectivity and mobility, augmented reality, cybersecurity for manufacturing processes, etc.).
• Production technologies focused on environmental and energy practices, including resource efficiency in production processes, recycling (reuse, remanufacturing, etc.), and the circular economy.
• Adaptive manufacturing technologies.
• Additive manufacturing technologies, materials and products, etc.
• New materials in production (alloys, lubricants, coatings, textile fibers, composites, insulation materials, multifunctional materials, etc.).
• New production methods, components and systems (devices, tools and equipment, logistics systems).
• Other products, technologies, and services related to production (logistics, supply chain, etc.).

Companies/researchers are funded by their respective funding organizations in their home countries. Companies/researchers based in our country will be supported within the framework of the "TÜBİTAK 1071 Support Program for Increasing the Capacity to Benefit from International Research Funds and Participation in International R&D Collaborations".

Before applying national application rules It needs to be examined in detail. Failure to comply with the application rules may result in the application being returned without being evaluated.
