Noroc - Novel Remote Online Collaboration

"Implementing new collaboration scenarios in research and industry"

The project is planned to run in the Swiss "Scopes" program, which supports collaboration and knowledge transfer with eastern countries.

The goal of this project is the knowledge transfer in the field of mechanical engineering by means of new collaboration technology. Based on given problems in the design of machine tools and manufacturing, these new collaboration methods and technologies will be introduced to the Romanian partner in order to facilitate a net-based teamwork. Such a net-based teamwork takes place in many industrial business processes, starting from creativity processes (idea generation process), to design reviews, service processes, or customer support.

Beside using the technology for students' education and the exchange of lessons, also industry at both partner sides will be involved to take benefit from this planned knowledge and technology transfer. In addition, the base technology for collaboration, which is developed at the ICVR group, will be tested and optimized during this institutional partnership.

The institutional partnership is between the following universities / institutes:

The project is funded by the Nationbal Science Foundation FNSNF.
