• To map the stakeholders and set up events to promote the results of the project and ensure the sustainability of the technology developed

The results:

I) 2 AT: EPW driving simulator + smart EPW. Strategy based on a global innovation framework from TRL 4 to 8 including standardization, developments with short
time to market deliveries and researches.

II) Training programmes developed, delivered and evaluated for healthcare prof. in the field of AT.

III) 4 formalized agreements between labs and companies built through 20 events ranging from local to international meetings aiming at creating synergies and boosting R&D in the field of AT.
