5th SNMT workshop dedicated to AMI2030 Initiative

The Society for New Materials and Technologies (SNMT) invites you to the 5th Strategic Workshop, which will be focused on announcing the strategy adopted by the European Commission in February 2024 - "Advanced Materials for Leadership in Industry". This strategy aims to align research, innovation and investment priorities across the EU and ensure Europe's leadership in this key area. 

Experts, scientists, and prominent representatives of the European Commission, the Government Office of the Slovak Republic, and the Council of the Government of the Slovak Republic for Science, Technology and Innovation will speak at the seminar. 

The aim of the workshop is not only to present the current national and European direction and initiatives in this area but also to create a platform for the exchange of knowledge and experience between all interested parties.

We believe that participation in this event will bring valuable knowledge to all participants, which will benefit the further development and application of advanced materials in various industries in Slovakia.
