On February 12-14,2018 the InnoChain Second Year Colloquium and Research Exhibition “Prototypes” will take place at COAC in Barcelona. In this pinnacle event within the Innochain network, all 15 ESR projects will be presented in plenum towards all Innochain Beneficiaries and Industry Partners.

The three day event will open up with presentations by ESRs with a specific focus on their Industry Partner collaborations as a driving force for the development of their projects. An international panel will discuss and review the progress of the work. It consists of Beneficiaries, Industry Partners and invited scientists:

• • Mark Burry, Swinburne University (February 12-14)
  • Jane Burry, Swinburne University (February 12-14)

The event is public. The first and the third day will be concluded with a keynote. This contextualises the research and provides a broader vision for the overall topic of InnoChain. The two invited keynote speakers are:

• Enri Ruiz Geli, Cloud9 (Monday, February 12)
• Aviad Almagor, Trimble (Tuesday, February 14)

On the 3rd evening the InnoChain Exhibition “PROTOTYPES” will be opened. This event takes place at IAAC. The show runs until the February 28, 2018. The exhibition focuses on the role of the industry collaboration as a driving force for the development of the InnoChain project. The approach and highlights of the industry collaborations will be presented through videos and initiate a dialogue on what is the interest for both sides to accelerate research and development in the Building industry. The preliminary outcomes of the collaborations will be illustrated through a series of prototypes.
