Global Competition Seeking New Ideas for Aluminium Use
The Global Technology and Innovation Project Initiative is a UC RUSAL programme to which the IAI provides its support. The Global Technology and Innovation Research Project is designed to promote the identification of innovative and sustainable applications for aluminium products. In the period 2008-2010 we will be searching for the brightest ideas and research projects, which aim to foster the development of products and applications that encourage increasing use of aluminium in sustainable applications where the material can bring substantial benefits.
UC Rusal is keen to support innovative ideas for the sustainable use of aluminium and welcome any proposals. The key objective of the programme is to encourage greater use of sustainable aluminium products around the world through the application of advanced technologies and innovations.
Between 2009 and 2011, up to 10 research projects will be selected and receive funding. Priority will be given to commercially focused and ground breaking research projects that bring new ideas, applications and commercial products to markets. Funding of research projects will focus on one specific end use market for each year of the programme. The following research topics have been defined for each year of the programme:
2008 – Transportation
2009 – Building & Construction
2010 – Packaging
Proposals should aim to deliver innovations and benefits and/or solve major challenges through the use of aluminium.
The deadline for submission of research project proposal for 2008 is September 30, 2008.
The project’s criteria, procedures, deadlines and requirements for participation are described in full details in the Project Criteria document.
In order to participate in the programme, please fill in the Application Form and send it to: gtip@rusal.com
