Europe has the key advantage to host pioneers and specialists in self-healing disciplines who can make the ambitious goals become a reality. They teamed up in the SMARTINCS consortium and include actors in all parts of the value chain, having the capacity to create the needed break-through to introduce the novel innovative self-sensing and multifunctional self-healing strategies and advanced repair technologies into the market.
SMARTINCS merges the technical know-how and complementary skills of experts in academia (11 partners), multinational companies and SMEs (8 partners), and national research agencies, certification and pre-standardization bodies (3 partners), being pioneers in the area and having successfully collaborated in the past in several European and national network and research projects
