This event should be an opportunity for fruitful dialogue between academic researchers and industrial participants. To that end, industrial participants are invited to present their case-studies, either through a stand, a poster or a presentation. Similarly, the academic research community, and in particular the PhD students are invited to share their work through posters or presentations. A round-table at the end of the workshop will further aim at confronting the visions of both research and industrial partners.
