Under the Horizon 2020 work programme, the Pan-European advanced manufacturing assistance and training for SMEs call has been launched. The objective is to strengthen the competitiveness of manufacturing SMEs by offering easy, pan-European access to consultancy services and the advanced training and skills required in the manufacturing sector.

Specifically, the initiative consists of two actions designed to complement the services offered by the Advanced Manufacturing Support Centre:

• assistenza alle PMI per elaborare un piano di trasformazione della propria azienda. Le aziende in questione saranno affiancate e guidate durante la fase di attuazione del piano per trasformare la propria azienda in una fabbrica del futuro in linea con il concetto di Industria 4.0;
• cross-border training services to be provided to SMEs in collaboration with technology or training centres ("on-site" training delivered in facilities where technologies can be tested and demonstrated).

The budget available is 5.7 million euros, of which 65% will directly benefit SMEs. Applications may be submitted by 10/12/2020. To submit a proposal, you must access the dedicated portal
