Dissemination Activities & Resources |
MUSCLE-NoE organized and attended to several events to disseminate its results. In the first years of the project, more emphasize on the academic events e.g. conferences and workshops were given. Several showcase project teams were formed in those years and those teams started to prepare some demos to disseminate MUSCLE to industry and public. Therefore in the last years of the NoE, MUSCLE attended several fairs and organized events which are open not only to academic society but also to industry. Through this webpage past and upcoming events, papers presented in some conferences and the prepared softwares will be announced. Results of the dissemination activities e.g. contacts with companies, newspaper articles will also be announced here . The details of the showcases can be seen from the dissemination page of the MUSCLE. The slide show that was used at the fair we attended is available at here .
