Between 27 February and 10 March 2023 different colleagues from Uni Potsdam, PDWA and UPV/POLYMAT performed a PDW measuring campaign at the laboratories of our industrial partner Covestro in The Netherlands.

Between the 20th and 22nd of February 2023, a group of colleagues from the IRIS team (Susana Gómez Sanza, Juan Vicente, Eric Garcia and Jose Javier Ruiz) visited UPV/POLYMAT with the purpose of continuing their work on the Dilution System for the TUS sensor.

In November 2022 (21st – 25th), James Bolton, TUS expert at IRIS, visited BRAVE facilities in Graz (Austria) to perform experiments with IRIS’ TUS sensor in Cnano’s nanoparticle suspensions, aligned with Case Study 5.

On 10th October 2022, the partners of the H2020 project HARMLESS visited the facilities of BRAVE for a technology demonstration of their real time characterisation technology for nanoparticle production processes, OF2i.
All attendees where very interested in the novel technology and some contacts have already been established! Let’s the future bring fruitful collaborations!

At the end of October (24th-28th October 2022), Manuel Nigg, from Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW), visited the facilities of UP/innoFSPEC for knowledge exchange, training and networking purposes, as well as to do some refractive index measurements.

Trying to engage with new stakeholders, NanoPAT met the NMBP-01-2018 LightCoce Open Innovation Test Bed project in an online meeting, hosted by our common partner EXELISIS, on Oct 26th 2022.

The collaborations between NanoPAT partners continue being quite intensive during this Autumn of 2022. On 19-20 October 2022, some colleagues from BRAVE visited FLUDINOVA’s facilities in Porto, showing them around and introducing them their business and products, focusing concretely on Fluidinova’s industrial plant and production process.

Due to the increasing interest in interest in real-time nanocharacterisation technologies, on 7th October 2022, our technology developer BRAVE Analytics gave a talk on their OF2i technology to the FELMI-ZFE Institut für Elektronenmikroskopie und Nanoanalytik – Zentrum für Elektronenmikroskopie (Institute of Electron Microscopy and Nanoanalysis – Center for Electron Micrscopy) at the Technische Universität Graz as part of their weekly seminar series in the Winter semester 2022/23.

At the end of September colleagues from our technology developer BRAVE Analytics visited the headquarters in Athens of the industrial partner Creative Nano.

The Advances in Process Analytics and Control Technologies 2022 (APACT 2022) took place in Chester, UK, on 14-16 September 2022. Two of the NanoPAT partners presented their research in the “Nanoparticle process monitoring and control” session.
