Project Name<\/strong>
LiTES \u2013 Lightweight Technology for Structural Components<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Promoting Entities<\/strong>
MCG \u2013 Manuel da Concei\u00e7\u00e3o Gra\u00e7a, Lda
Itecons \u2013 Institute for Research and Technological Development<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Region<\/strong>
Carregado \u2013 Alenquer \u2013 Lisbon<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Main Objective<\/strong>
The LITES project aims to develop and validate prototypes of lightweight integral roofs for the road and rail sectors, raising technological maturity through industrial research, laboratory or simulated experimentation, experimental development and advanced manufacturing processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Priorities<\/strong>
The LITES project comprises industrial research activities aimed at acquiring knowledge and testing concepts in laboratory or simulated environments, as well as applying that knowledge in the effective experimental development of prototypes using new materials and advanced manufacturing processes, testing them in an industrial context in order to obtain technical\u2011scientific validation.
The objective is to advance the maturity level of the technologies to be explored and of the innovative lightweight integral roof solution for the road and rail sectors.
The project is carried out as a co\u2011promotion between MCG and Itecons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
