The idea behind the EXPERTS MEET UP format:

The ‘Experts Meet Up – Science Meets Business’ series is jointly organised by the Technische Universität Ilmenau, the Mittelstand-Digital Centre Ilmenau and the clusters PolymerMat e.V. – Thuringia Plastics Cluster, ELMUG eG – Thuringia Electronic Measurement and Instrumentation Co-operative, and BVMW Thuringia (Der Mittelstand. BVMW e.V.).

With around 20–25 participants, the event offers not only opportunities for individual networking but also the chance to engage in a ‘round-table’ exchange through a moderated discussion, which is also intended to facilitate the sharing of experiences in research collaborations.
