We are pleased to announce that on July 9th and 10th, the 3rd general assembly of HighScape has taken place in Erfurt, Free State of Thuringia, Germany.

A huge thank to the colleagues from TU Ilmenau for hosting us at the ThEx, paving the floor for insightful discussions, and creating impressive experiences with a great tour through Erfurt’s old town and a dinner at “Das Ballenberger”.

Key discussion points:

• aligning the timing between prototype available, control strategy development, and test facility availability

• strengthening the interaction between the work-packages, for example how the simulation environment can be used for design space exploration and to provide guidance for early decision making (frontloading)

• and for sure a recap of all the inputs required to finalize our mid-term report

Again, thanks a lot to our colleagues hosting and all participants for the fruitful exchange. Looking forward to the next meeting and further evolution in our project!

We are sharing with you some impressions from the HighScape project meeting, taking place end of January. The meeting was organized in a workshop manner to support the existing focus on the following areas:

🔹 Simulation Toolchain, a joint initiative supported by 4 work packages, and seeking for the synergies toward other projects such as HiPE and EM-TECH project.
🔹 Components and Hardware further detailing the advancements as well as planing for the design of the evaluation strategies and demonstration activities
🔹 Outreach activities and project management

We would like to thank our host Politecnico di Torino Cars@Polito for the excellent organisation supporting the collaborative exchange between the participants.

The HighScape advisory board was one of the examples of ecosystem engagement presented during the HiPEAC workshop “system and cross-domain value network creation”. It was an inspiring exchange and we are looking forward to a continuation as well as the ongoing work with our advisory board.
