This project aims to establish an inter-university ECIU Rubber Chair bringing together the leading rubber groups from Tampere University, Lodz University of Technology, and the University of Twente. It is expected that this initiative will enhance the scientific excellence of the groups by facilitating close collaboration in research and education. Also, it will ensure a new level of visibility, allowing outreach to apply for EU grants, influence EU policy and intensify contact with society and industry. It is planned to coordinate the actions of the rubber groups gathered in the ECIU Rubber Chair toward the application for the MSCA Doctoral Network grant and common education projects by creating the ECIU Challenge and ECIU Micro-module. The ECIU Rubber Chair will remain open for other ECIU universities for future collaboration.
