2019 EFECS Meeting
19th - 21st November Helsinki, Finland
The Prystine project together with similar AutoDrive and recent new AI4DI and NewControl projects were presented by the project partners in the European Forum for Electronic Components and Systems (EFECS). Cooperating partners from all projects have organized a large joint project booth with posters and videos representing each project individually and generally reflecting the connection that links all projects, such as lighthouse initiatives, Lighthouse mobility.E and Lighthouse industry 4.E.
EFECS is the international forum with a focus on ‘Our Digital Future’ along the Electronic Components and Systems value chain in Europe. The event was jointly organized by AENEAS, ARTEMIS-IA, EPoSS, ECSEL Joint Undertaking, and the European Commission, in association with EUREKA. It was a very successful event with numerous opportunities to learn more about the latest developments, cooperation and funding possibilities in the ECS Community.
PRYSTINE presented together with other Lighthouse Mobility.E projects AutoDrive, AI4DI and NewControl
