RESINSURF responds to the need to apply alternative surface technologies through research and generation of a homogeneous strategy of action against a common problem in the SUDOE territory. It aims to contribute to the technological modernisation of the surface treatment sector and its transition to digital manufacturing, in line with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (REACH, Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals). It contributes to the development of specific methods of monitoring treatment lines, making them more sustainable, competitive and intelligent. It offers alternatives to current technologies, whose impact on workers’ health and the environment is negative. The development, evaluation and transfer of new electrochemical treatment technologies together with advanced process monitoring and surface characterisation techniques, for the transport, energy production, construction and manufacturing tools sectors, will drive smart and sustainable growth of SUDOE companies and space industry. The development and adoption of the Common Strategy (E.S.) includes a line of action aimed at the transfer of knowledge, focuses on population growth, proposes training for students and professionals and applies solutions in companies in the area. Pilots in FR and ES will generate knowledge and solutions. The capitalisation of existing knowledge in the territory is the source of return for professionals in the sector, academia and future generations. The problem of depopulation in rural areas is directly addressed by promoting knowledge. The knowledge capital of the consortium and the direct application of solutions in the territories, make RESISNSURF an ambitious and innovative project in the SUDOE space, “from SUDOE to SUDOE”.
