Driving Innovation Together: Q-PLAN at the FLAGCHIP General Assembly
Stronger partnerships, clearer direction, and hands-on inspiration — this is what last week’s FLAGCHIP General Assembly at the University of Nottingham delivered.
Q-PLAN joined all project partners at UoN for a meeting focused on reviewing our project’s FLAGCHIP progress and shaping the roadmap for the upcoming phase of the project. The discussions were highly productive, ensuring alignment across work packages and reinforcing the collaborative spirit that drives FLAGCHIP forward.
One of the highlights was the guided visit to the Power Electronics and Machine Centre laboratories. Seeing the advanced research facilities and ongoing experimental work up close provided valuable insights into the technological developments supporting the project’s ambitions.
We warmly thank the University of Nottingham team for hosting us and for facilitating meaningful exchanges throughout the visit. Q-PLAN remains committed to supporting impactful implementation as FLAGCHIP continues to advance its objectives.
