IMPACT supports the University of Lomé in the implementation of a coherent system of training in Mathematical Engineering (logistics, computer science, data analytics) from the bachelor's degree to the doctorate. All delivered in double degrees, integrated into economic activities, recognized by the CTI (L and M), they offer work-study and support to entrepreneurship.

FALSTAFF aims to provide technological bricks leading to a limitation of eddy current losses in magnetic components and to a general optimization of magnetic performance in the high frequency field, leading to a major breakthrough in the design of electrical machines, high performance alternating current. To do this, FALSTAFF will explore new, innovative ways of producing ferromagnetic alloys in the form of 3D laminated components, combining magnetic and insulating structures. Two methods, based on the LBM or DED process, will be proposed, by the porous route or by combining two materials. To this end, the project covers, in a balanced partnership, all of the design stages. Metal powders of two compositions, Fe-6.5 wt.% Si and Fe-Co-V, will be produced by atomization (WP 1). Laminated test pieces will be manufactured, exploring different construction parameters and strategies, and integrating heat treatments (WP 2 and 5). In-depth characterization will be developed on the components, making it possible to analyse the link between process parameters and microstructural, chemical and mechanical properties, as well as defects occurrence (WP 3). In parallel, a thermomechanical modelling of the process, coupled with a CAFE approach, will be developed, at meso- and macro- scales, allowing the study of the development of grain structures under construction, and the resulting textures (WP 4). Thermodynamic couplings will lead to the investigation of composition effects. A fine magnetic characterization of the parts will be developed (WP 5) and compared to experimental observations and model outputs. The specific properties of the alloys and the proposed construction strategies will thus be determined. Development conditions maximizing the properties of laminated structures will be defined.

HyAcademy.EU will capitalise on the investments already made by the European Commission and Member States in education and training activities. The consortium brings together representatives from multiple projects (Table 1), enabling previous outputs to be consolidated and exploited, maximising the Academy impact and reach. In order to realise its objectives, the European Hydrogen Academy will have achieved by midterm to - build and sustain a network of over 100 universities (The Network of 100) offering recognised qualifications, specialisations, and degrees in hydrogen technologies, - build and sustain a network of over 500 schools integrating hydrogen topics into their science teaching, including technical schools and colleges with more specific technical training, - create a network of 5 hands-on, physical training laboratories, - offer a portal to showcase and link the educational programmes available in the network and beyond, in order to supply prospective trainees with accurate and detailed information on training and career opportunities, with a minimum of 100.000 accesses to documents specialising in hydrogen topics, - provide free training materials across European languages to lecturers and teachers in order to enable educational staff to deliver the vast body of educational measures necessary, - develop and integrate novel (online) teaching methodologies into university, college and school curricula, and train educational staff to successfully employ these, and - create and implement an organisational structure and a successful business case allowing continuation of the project activities post-funding in establishing a European Hydrogen Academy spanning all levels and types of education and training. HyAcademy.EU will considerably contribute to the EU goals of offering access to high-quality education, supporting the creation of a highly-skilled workforce and more and better jobs in the European hydrogen industry. Through the school activities it will foster public awareness and acceptance of hydrogen technologies.
