On September 15th, the INDUSAC project, in which the UPC's Technology Center (CIT UPC) participates as a partner, celebrated a significant milestone, the first open-environment test of its pioneering methodology at a workshop. In this event, exclusive previews of the INDUSAC platform were shown for the very first time and the response, coming from a selected assembly of students, researchers, and industry experts, was nothing but remarkable.
The participants praised the methodology for its comprehensive and insightful nature. However, the feedback received was not just complementary, it produced a repository of new ideas and constructive critiques. The interest shown by the participants highlights the workshop's success and underlines INDUSAC's commitment to open dialogue and knowledge exchange.
The INDUSAC team's commitment with INDUSAC’s goals played a pivotal role in the workshop's objectives accomplishment. Likewise, the generosity of the workshop's participants, who shared their insights and expertise, put INDUSAC one step closer to their official launch in less than a month.
The INDUSAC project's workshop stands as an evidence of the power of collaboration and innovation. With the methodology and the platform unveiled, the path ahead of INDUSAC’s mechanism appears promising.
