imec.icon information session
On 16 January 2020 The Beacon, together with imec – IDLab UAntwerpen, will host an information session for companies about the possibilities of participating in collaborative research projects through the imec.icon program.
In the imec.icon research program, multidisciplinary teams of imec researchers and companies will collaborate during a two-year period to develop innovative digital solutions (e.g. Internet-of-things, artificial intelligence) within different application domains such as industry 4.0, smart cities, smart mobility, energy, healthcare, media, etc.
During the information sessions on 16 January you will find out more about participating in the imec.icon program and receive information about the application criteria, procedures and specific support as well as some results of previous imec.icon calls. There are 2 calls (March & October) per year and the current imec.icon call is open until 12 March 2020. More information.
