Within the third and final round of the KIEM HighTech 2024 scheme, 12 research projects have been awarded funding. The research projects concern technologically-oriented innovation issues from practice, including sensors for thermal batteries, the alignment of optical elements, social robots in healthcare situations, testing sensors for soil measurement systems and a system to map vibrations of industrial processes using image analysis. There will be a new edition of the KIEM KIEM High-Tech scheme in 2025. There will be two submission rounds in this second edition. More information about this scheme will follow in February 2025.
