Welcome to join LIGHTer for another eventful fall
We have already hosted a number of events and seminars this fall as well as kicked off twenty five new technical research projects. For instance, LIGHTer hosted a symposia about lightweight at the large material conference EUROMAT held in Stockholm in September. We have also organised a product optimisation seminar as well as a lightweight in med-tech seminar.
So, what is happening next? The highlight of the fall is our LIGHTer International Conference held in Gothenburg in November, to which we would like to invite you to participate. The program is finalised and we are happy and proud to be able to present very interesting key note speakers as well as an excellent session program and matchmaking event. More information about the conference and how to sign up is found below.
Another event in November that we are very happy about is a trade mission organised together with Carbon Composite Schweiz to four of Sweden’s major OEMs. We also invite you to contact us if you have any ideas about possible future collaborations, study visits or any other inquiries.
We hope to see you in Gothenburg in November!
Best regards,
The LIGHTer Management Team - Cecilia Ramberg, Fredrik Stig and Lotta Weiblad |
