SCS Activities at ILMAC 2013
At ILMAC 2013 the SCS will present itself in a completely new way and focus on in-fair activities to closer interact with visitors. In collaboration with the universities of applied sciences, ZHAW, FHNW and HES-SO (Fachhochschulen FH), the SCS awards the best joint research projects of FH and their industrial partners and will present them in an exhibition at the shared stand. In addition the best projects will be presented as short talks in the ILMAC-Forum. Besides the SCS-FH activities three mini-symposia will shorten your journey and the winners of the Dr. Max Lüthi Award 2013 will be honored. It would be our pleasure to welcome you as our guest at the stand or as visitor in one of the forum events.
