11.03.2011, First workshop of the ARISTOTEL project

On March 9, 2011, representatives from AgustaWestland and Eurocopter as well as from renowned Politecnico di Torino met the beneficiaries of the ARISTOTEL consortium for an internal workshop at Politecnico di Milano.

The main aim of the half-day workshop consisted in the discussion of industrial needs and ongoing research activities in the field concerned. The industrial representatives confirmed their interest in the research carried out within the framework of ARISTOTEL and the impact that the project results might have taking into account future design needs.

ARISTOTEL will strive to organise further focused workshops that serve a two-fold aim: inform relevant industrial companies and researchers about the project progress and at the same give ARISTOTEL direction and new impulse.
