Abstract (Englisch)

The MANTYS Thematic Network will promote innovation in the field of manufacturing technology, focusing on machinery technology. The MANTYS Thematic Network will provide a framework in which researchers communicate and establish a common view of technological progress and its opportunities. Potential synergies between different projects will be made apparent and co-operation promoted. Furthermore, the MANTYS Thematic Network will promote the widest exploitation of research results across sectors. MANTYS will generate insight in the mechanisms that relate technological innovation to socio-economic factors. Building on this, it will identify realistic scenarios based on likely technological and socio-economical developments. These will be used to assess strategic impact. 'Technology Road Maps' will be produced, preparing decision makers to orient their activities and to adapt to change.
