Educating Europe`s Future Engineers in Next Generation Heavy Duty Mobile Machinery

Europe’s construction, logistics and agriculture sectors face multiple challenges related to increasing productivity and boosting efficiency. In response, the EU-funded MORE project has brought together five heavy duty mobile (HDM) equipment companies (J. Deere, Liebherr, Bosch Rexroth, HIAB, Volvo CE) and four highly specialised academic groups. As the first ever European Industrial Doctorate (EID) research and training programme, it will address this need and fill the gap in related research and training. The project will equip eight early stage researchers with a set of research skills including robotics, machine learning, energy systems, as well as transferable skills such as entrepreneurship and career management. It will deliver innovative solutions resulting from digitalisation and artificial intelligence.
