As part of the European RECOTRANS project dissemination programme, AIMPLAS and the RECOTRANS consortium are hosting an online conference on Wednesday 29 September 2021. The event seeks contributions covering research projects that are focused on the development of novel materials, technologies and methods for an efficient manufacturing and composite recycling concepts of the next generation of the transport sector, in alignment with the European Mobility Strategy Roadmap.
The technical sessions will cover the following broad topic areas within the transport sector:

Moderator: Mr. Igor Steiner - Senior Project Manager (INEA)
Panellists: PhD. Elena Rodríguez Senín (AIMEN) and Mr. Nikos Pantelelis - Director (Synthesites)
11:05 -11:30 (CEST): ECO-INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR COMPOSITE RECYCLING
Moderator: Mr. Alexander Zoller (ARKEMA)
Panellists: Alejandro Sandá - R&D Engineer (TENIKER) and PhD Nora Lardiés - R&D Engineer (AIMPLAS)
11:30 -11:55 (CEST): ADVANCED LIGHTWEIGHT MATERIALS AND ECO-DESIGN FOR EFFICIENT MOBILITY
Moderator: Javier Romo - Responsible for Sustainable Mobility and Intelligent Transportation projects (CIDAUT)
Panellists: Raquel Ledo - Head of Materials Innovation Area (CTAG) and DR Jose L. Casamayor - Technical Fellow (Design for the Circular Economy) at the AMRC (University of Sheffield)
11:55-12:00 (CEST): Summary of main takeaway (AIMPLAS)

The recent Booster Info Session offered a comprehensive overview of the services available to EU-funded projects, how and why to apply and featured a testimony by an EU-funded project benefitting from the services. For those who attended (and those who couldn’t), here are eight key takeaways we've selected from the event.

Booster was recently featured in the 2025 edition of the Projects to Policy Seminar, one of the European Commission’s Directorate General HOME’s flagship events, held earlier this month, offering a valuable opportunity for EU-funded projects to learn more about the tailored and free-of-charge support services that Booster offers.
Booster is a collaborative support service designed to mentor EU-funded project researchers grow their project’s impact and real-world application. The process is hands-on and co-creative: Booster experts bring tailored advice and tools, while beneficiaries remain at the centre of the journey.

Turning research findings into tangible benefits has proven challenging for many EU-funded projects. While Europe is a global leader in generating high-quality research, there’s a well-recognised struggle to translate these findings into market-ready solutions - known as the “European paradox”. Booster’s Go-To-Market support service is designed to address this issue, helping researchers bridge the gap between innovation and impact.
