As part of the bilateral Croatian-Austrian project "Digitalization as a Key Factor in Overcoming Disabilities in Traffic and Production", Prof. Dr. Dragan Peraković, Assoc. prof. Marko Periša, and Petra Teskera, M.Eng, conducted a four-day visit to colleagues from Pro2Future in Graz, Austria.
During the visit, a meeting was held with representatives of Pro2Future, during which the Department, Faculty, and University were presented, and valuable experiences and ideas for further project development were exchanged. Additionally, members of the Croatian team visited Team Styria Werkstätten GmbH, a company notable for having more than 80% of its employees as people with disabilities. The visit provided insight into work processes adapted for people with disabilities, and the first project results were presented, demonstrating the potential of digitalization in improving working conditions and promoting inclusion in production processes.
Furthermore, valuable knowledge and experiences were exchanged with other colleagues from Pro2Future, and possibilities for different forms of further cooperation were discussed, such as future project proposals, student exchanges, and similar initiatives.
