UPV/EHU, University of Deusto and Mondragon Unibertsitatea, members of the 4gune ecosystem, have responded to the call of the 4gune Business+University programme for the 2023/24 academic year, ‘AIC Open University’, to transfer knowledge from the university to the company through 13 projects focusing on design, simulation, advanced materials and manufacturing technologies, aimed at different vehicle concepts.

One of the objectives of the 4gune Business+University Programme is to promote the connection between academic agents and professionals related to the Smart Industry. The Automotive University Classroom ‘AIC Open University’ continues to collaborate with the programme to strengthen the recruitment and preparation of young people for their transition to the mobility sector. To this end, in the current academic year they presented 19 challenges framed in the technological areas and fields of application of the smart industry, for the different phases of the mobility sector.

AIC states that: ‘Throughout these years, AIC has been incorporating new challenges as the sector itself is transforming and new opportunities arise, for example, by focusing on new mobility concepts, such as the bicycle. Thanks to the collaboration with 4gune, this year we have launched projects of high technological value with a practical, results-oriented approach that will allow us to make a qualitative leap in key areas of knowledge and develop the skills of professionals who are increasingly in demand in the sector’.

The projects selected in the 2023/24 call for proposals, in which 51 students are participating, are listed below:
