MAV DAY is the annual face-to-face meeting for members of the MAV Cluster and open to agents in the value chain of advanced materials and their technologies. In this face-to-face meeting, companies and organizations have the opportunity to interact with each other, explore new collaboration opportunities and enjoy presentations on topics of interest.

MAV Day 2024 will begin with an inaugural talk related to the latest trends in advanced materials and will continue with the presentations of transformative projects or new developments that have been finalists of theMAV  AWARDS. These are projects linked to three different categories within the framework of advanced materials and their manufacturing processes:

• innovation
• sustainability
• Industry 4.0

At the end of the presentations, a public vote will be held to select the most interesting presentations in the three categories (Innovation, Sustainability, Industry 4.0). The most voted projects in each category will be awarded with a very special trophy.

During the day there will also be an opportunity for networking to share ideas and establish new collaborations between the participants.

The day will end with a joint lunch.
