GLOBAL COMPETITION
Global competition seeking new ideas for aluminium use
The Global Technology and Innovation Project Initiative is a UC RUSAL programme
to which the IAI provides its support. The Global Technology and Innovation
Research Project is designed to promote the identification of innovative and
sustainable applications for aluminium products. In the period 2008-2010 we
will be searching for the brightest ideas and research projects, which aim to
foster the development of products and applications that encourage increasing
use of aluminium in sustainable applications where the material can bring
substantial benefits.
UC Rusal is keen to support innovative ideas for the sustainable use of
aluminium and welcome any proposals. The key objective of the programme is to
encourage greater use of sustainable aluminium products around the world
through the application of advanced technologies and innovations.
 Between
2009 and 2011, up to 10 research projects will be selected and receive funding.
Priority will be given to commercially focused and ground breaking research
projects that bring new ideas, applications and commercial products to markets.
Funding of research projects will focus on one specific end use market for each
year of the programme. The following research topics have been defined for each
year of the programme:
-
2008 – Transportation
-
2009 – Building & Construction
-
2010 – Packaging
Proposals should aim to deliver innovations and benefits and/or solve major
challenges through the use of aluminium.
The deadline for submission of research project proposal for 2008 is September
30, 2008
The project’s criteria, procedures, deadlines and requirements for
participation are described in full details in the
Project Criteria document.
