Start-up of iNANOSPRAY Project
On Wednesday, May 9th 2012, we celebrated in Barcelona, the kick-off meeting of the iNanospray project: "Intelligent production system for Nanocoatings through thermal Spray”. iNanospray is a project granted by European Commission, in the MANUNET Transnational Call 2011 Programme – Catalonia (ACC1Ó) and Germany (BMBF) funding programmes - and where CPT participates as specialist within the production of coatings by thermal spray techniques. Representatives of both regions/countries taking part in the consortium, Catalonia and Germany, met in Barcelona, in order to plan the work for the next two years. The meeting was finished within the visit of the consortium in the CPT´s Cold Spray facilities.
