Participation in the ScaVanger Project

In ScaVanger, CATURA manages and coordinates together with ORANO Mining and RWTH Aachen University IME the Scavanger project. CATURA ensures information flux among the tasks and workpackages for optimizing project outcomes.

CATURA leads also the Communication and Dissemination workpackage, contributing to writing of scientific and journalistic articles, setting up short courses and initiates participation in conferences.

CATURA also cooperates in the market analysis and customer acquisition.

CATURA and NTUA, will set-up together the ScaVanger summer school in Athens in 2023.
