The Ceramic TTD returns to Tecnargilla

Aug 02, 2004

02/08/04 - The Ceramic TTD (Technology Transfer Day), an initiative devoted to technological transfer in the field of ceramic materials processes and plants, will be back again this year in Rimini.

The event was first launched five years ago by Acimac and Istec-Cnr with the aim of bringing together supply and demand for new technologies and innovation in the ceramic sector.

This year’s programme includes the organisation of about fifty bilateral meetings during the 5 days of the show and a conference on 4 October to present the most interesting offers and requests for technology along with a few case histories of cooperation between businesses and universities or research institutes.

For the entire duration of the show all the selected requests and offers for technology will be documented at the Ceramic TTD stand located in the central hall in the exhibition centre. The proposals can be consulted at any time on the internet site www.ceramicttd.it .

More than 100 requests for meetings were made at the Ceramic TTD held during Tecnargilla 2002. A third of these meetings took place directly at the exhibition, while the rest were held after the show had ended.

The in-focus section contains the programme of the 4 October conferenceceramicttd.gifWhat is the Ceramic TTD?The Ceramic TTD

First launched in 1999 by Acimac (Italian Ceramic Plant and Machinery Manufacturers’ Association) and ISTEC-CNR (Institute of Science and Technology of Ceramic Materials), the Ceramic TTD offers researchers, businesses, research bodies and universities who have proposed or requested innovative technologies the opportunity to make contact with ceramic sector companies from all over the world and establish business-oriented and technological collaborations in the field of new technologies and applications or create partnerships to implement research that is already in progress.The conference programmeTECHNOLOGY TRANSFER DAY ON CERAMIC MATERIALS, PROCESSES AND PLANTS: PRESENTATION OF NEW CERAMIC TECHNOLOGIES
