PROJECT GOALSThe objective of the PolyRegion is to create a strong and sustainable economic region in the cross‐border region Slovenia – Austria. This involves creating a cross‐border network between education, R&D and industry, with:
Identification of core competences and knowledge of all partner institutions/businesses and target groupsDevelopment of an active and internationally competitive partnership between R&D institutions and the educational institutions in the field of polymer technologyPromotion of collaboration, exchange and knowledge transfer between businesses and research institutionsJoint educational activities and B2B meetingsStudent and apprentice exchangesConsolidation and dissemination of the region's know‐how and competencies in the field of polymers and polymer processing technologies by developing the brand PolyRegionOrganisation of international events for expanding knowledge and exchanging experiences

Market orientation Material usage
TRAINING PROGRAMMES• 1 training program implemented – Introduction to polymers
(3 days x 4 hours ‐ 60 participants from Slovenia)• Goal: To develop at least five new training programs based on
the needs of the companies in PolyRegion• Training programs in 2014:
• Mould planning and maintainance• Simulations• Characterisation of polymer materials• Rubber• Recycling/Biopolymers
22.01.2014 12
SEMINARS, CONFERENCES AND B2B‘S• 1 seminar and B2B in Celje – Plagkem• Goal: To provide new knowledge about trends in different fields in
the area of PMT and to facilitate the process of networkingbetween companies, companies and R&D institutions,…
• Seminars/conferences and B2B‘s in 2014• Challanges in extrusion of polymers – international conference (Slovenj Gradec)• ICIT conference and B2B ICIT ‐ International Conference on Industrial Tools and
Material Processing Technologies (Ljubljana)• 3D printing – Seminar (Leoben)
22.01.2014 13
JOINT R&D PROJECTTitle: New methods and materials for injection moulding
• new method for sound detection• new biodegradable polymers for home composting• process optimisation
Goal: The main goal is to implement a joint R&D project, whichwill be a good practice for future cooperation between the R&D institutions in PolyRegion.
Results of the R&D projects will be published on www.polyregion.org
22.01.2014 14
NETWORKING PROJECTS• 2 networking projects (max 8 companies from PolyRegion)
• Composites• Packeging for food industry
• Goal: To implement a new way of cooperation between R&D institutions and companies (transfer of knowledge and experiencesfrom Austria – MUL).
• A series of workshops for the interested companies organized on the basis of their needs. To provide/find experts/expertise in theareas of interest for the group of companies.
• The results – a new technology, product, material developed/implemented, process optimised.
Start – February 2014
