Workplan
To achieve SaP’s goals, a 36-month work plan was foreseen dividing the project’s activities into 8 Work Packages (WP). In summary:
- WP1 will focus on the coordination and management of the entire project
- WP2, WP3, WP4, and WP5 are the main technical WPs, representing the four focus areas
- To ensure the implementation of sustainability throughout the research and innovation activities, WP7 will collaborate closely with the technical WPs
- All the innovations of SaP will be fed into WP6 for demonstration and validation
Finally, WP8 will disseminate, communicate, and exploit results throughout the entire project
WP1: Project Management and Coordination
Lead Beneficiary: Teknologisk Institut (DTI)
Duration: Months 1-36
The WP1 ensures an efficient and effective project implementation by:
- Acting in accordance with time and budget
- Promoting seamless and smooth communication within the consortium as well as with the European Commission
- Guaranteeing compliance with the ethics requirement
- Handling the data management by securing data integrity and safety
WP2: Sustainable material development
Lead Beneficiary: Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH)
Duration: Months 1-30
Besides the development and upscaling of metallic-based conductive nanomaterials (NMs) and lignin/hybrid-based NMs, the WP2 is responsible for producing PBAd and PLA/PBAd copolymers and characterizing all polymers versus multiple methods.
WP3: Sustainable formulation development
Lead Beneficiary: Centre for Process Innovation Limited (CPI)
Duration: Months 1-30
The WP3 follows sustainable methodologies to produce inks and adhesives, demonstrating their upscaled production up to 1 kg scale, to support the industrial demonstrations in WP6.
WP4: Digital/sustainable process development
Lead Beneficiary: DTI
Duration: Months 1-30
The WP4 provides feedback to WP2 & WP3 on materials and formulations, in terms of performance by developing a digital process for discrete component bonding and de-bonding, using adhesives from WP3. It also aims to optimize print and curing/sintering processes to reduce curing time and perform pre-validation testing on fully printed PEs to feed WP6 Industrial Demonstration activities.
WP5: Separation & recycling
Lead Beneficiary: Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC)
Duration: Months 1-30
The WP5 main responsibility is to provide paths for: the separation of the substrate, mounted components, and printed component materials; recycling precious metals into metal pre-cursors; recycling solvents and minimizing waste during separation and recycling steps.
WP6: Industrial Demonstration
Lead Beneficiary: NanoScientifica Scandinavia (NSC)
Duration: Months 1-36
The main target of WP6 is to define specifications from the two end-user cases and provide overall designs for them. The ultimate goal is to produce fully digitally printed prototypes with specific requirements and demonstrate their production using recycled sources, their biodegradability, and their usage in an industrial environment.
WP7: Safe & Sustainable by Design (SSbD)
Lead Beneficiary: Instituto Tecnológico de Embalaje, Transporte y Logística (ITENE)
Duration: Months 1-34
The WP7 defines critical parameters impacting the safety and sustainability of raw materials, products, and processes of the project by designing and developing Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD) strategies to reduce environmental, health, and safety impacts. Risk assessment and economic and environmental validation in case studies will also be conducted.
WP8: Dissemination, Communication and Exploitation
Lead Beneficiary: AXIA Innovation GmbH (AXIA)
Duration: Months 1-36
The WP8 aims to further develop and implement the SaP’s Plan for Dissemination, Communication and Exploitation. The Communication activities promote the project itself and the Dissemination activities demonstrate the project’s results to raise awareness of specific audiences and market segments and engage stakeholders.
The Exploitation activities create industry business opportunities by setting up the means to confirm the capability of the project’s development to execute novel technologies to marketable products or further research.
WP1: Project Management and Coordination
