The project is oriented as complementary to the FrontSeat project supported by Horizon Europe. The aim is to carry out and fund complementary activities that were not considered in the original project. The main objectives of the project are:

• Excellent research in the field of automatic control
• Education and strengthening of research links in the field of automatic control
• Development of infrastructure to support research in automatic control

The four faculties involved in the project are STUBA, the Faculty of Chemical and Food Technology (Institute of Information Engineering, Automation and Mathematics, project PI), the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering (Institute of Automation, Measurement and Applied Informatics), the Faculty of Materials Science and Technology (Institute of Applied Informatics, Automation and Mechatronics, Institute of Advanced Technology Research) and the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (Institute of Automotive Mechatronics, Institute of Robotics and Cybernetics).
