The E-LASS event in Borås was intersessional, between the traditional annual events, and only included a seminar day. It was organized in collaboration with the EU project RAMSSES. The day started off with a short presentation of RISE by Franz Evegren, who also moderated the morning sessions. Several interesting examples were given of current and future composite maritime applications in waterbuses, pilot boats, offshore supply vessels and more. We also dove down into fire safe material development and the performance of adhesive bonds. The afternoon was moderated by Matthias Krause, who introduced for the first time focused sessions on technology transfer from non-maritime sectors (air, building, rail, car). This was first addressed in a general session, followed by a session focusing on quick assembly.
The presentations during the seminar day followed the previously published agenda, with the exceptions that Fredrik von Elern presented “The heavy importance of light weight construction with electric propulsion” instead of Andreas Bach and a cancellation of Harry Tsahalis presentation on “Online Monitoring Systems”.
