Models and Methods for an Active Ageing workforce: International Academy
The Institute of Production and Supply Chain Management received a research grant from the European Commission for the research project “Models and Methods for an Active Ageing workforce: International Academy – MAIA". Funding is provided from the funding program H2020-MSCA-RISE-2019.
MAIA is a European research project concerned with current strategic international challenges: the efficient integration of ageing workers into future production systems.
The project aims to foster the collaboration in research by means of networking, exchange programs, and joint actions in the dissemination of research. Seven European universities are involved in the project. In addition to our institute, teams from Italy, France, and Slovenia, as well as six universities outside the EU, for example from the US, Japan, New Zealand, Hong Kong, and Canada are involved.
The project combines various fields of expertise from the involved teams and enables the sharing and expansion of knowledge in the course of an international interdisciplinary exchange of personnel. The consortium provides a one-of-a-kind possibility to develop production systems attuned to the needs of an ageing workforce. Research contributions are expected in the fields of mechanical engineering, robotics, human/social sciences, and economics.
The program has a duration of four years and a total funding of about 1 million Euro.
