More than 400 stakeholders attended the first edition of the European Factories of the Future Research Association (EFFRA)’s Manufacturing Partnership Day, which focused on the Made in Europe and Factories of the Future initiatives.

Robots are using technologies developed by the H2020 MERGING project to automate manufacturing processes involving non-rigid materials. Funded by the 'Factories of the Future' partnership, the project is aligned with the research and innovation priority roadmap developed by the European Factories of the Future Research Association (EFFRA).

EFFRA, the European Factories of the Future Research Association, would like to invite all relevant stakeholders to join Europe’s leading manufacturing organisations in commenting and rating the suggested priorities for the work programme 2025-27 of the Made in Europe partnership.

Robots are beginning to work safely hand in hand with staff on industrial shop floors, without the need for fences, thanks to two projects funded through Factories of the Future, EFFRA’s partnership with the European Commission on manufacturing
