On August 28th and 29th, Thessaloniki witnessed a significant gathering aimed at fostering the future of Predictive Maintenance Education & Training in Europe. At the heart of this endeavor was the kick-off meeting for the “PreMETS – Predictive Maintenance Education & Training System” project. This is an Erasmus+ Alliances for Innovation project, designed to propel European innovation in predictive maintenance through a multidimensional approach encompassing entrepreneurial cooperation, education, and training. YET is glas to be pareticipating in this project. 

CERTH, the Consortium leader, generously hosted the event at their premises, providing a conducive environment for the partners to engage, share, and innovate. With a reputation for leading-edge research and expertise, CERTH’s role as the anchor for this meeting was apt and appreciated by all attendees.

The spectrum of partners for this project speaks to its depth and reach. ACCELI, ATLANTIS Engineering, HELIXCONNECT Europe, University of Pireus, WEGEMT, LCIC, MUB, EITM, DB, ISIM, and YET joined forces, bringing varied expertise to the table. The blend of academic institutions, research centers, industry leaders, and innovator organisations set the tone for a holistic approach to the project’s objectives.

A highlight of the meeting was the presentation by Work Package leaders, shedding light on the tasks and deliverables that form the backbone of the PreMETS initiative:
