The D-NL-HIT Project

In the D-NL-HIT Project, paint, coating, and adhesives industry partners in the German-Dutch border area are invited to use advanced solutions to evolve their next generation products. Combining expertise, automation, and machine learning, partners in the D-NL-HIT project can take full advantage of the latest technologies. The project partners are financially supported by INTERREG V A programme to strengthen innovative solutions, develop products, and build strong German-Dutch interactive networks.

The Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences is the lead partner, supporting project partners with both expertise in multiple fields and service capabilities. Through our Open Innovation Hub, we can take an active role in preparing our region with developments for a sustainable future, supporting strong collaboration through multilateral alliances across the region.

Can I Participate?

With our Open Innovation Voucher Program we give companies the opportunity to conduct innovative projects at our institute. The focus is on combined German-Dutch projects; developing sustainable products and processes. In addition to being funded, these projects will receive support in machine learning and automation from our HIT experts. Through the INTERREG V A project, a company can receive funding for 40% to 50% of the overall project budget if:

The theme of the project deals with paints, varnishes, adhesives or 3-D prints

The total project budget is ≤ 30.000€

The project must be finished by March 2021
