Bringing high-level technological knowledge to the operational business level and transform it into growing profitability is the ultimate goal of Pannon Business Network (later referred to as PBN). Guiding from data science to predictive maintenance, from neural networks to camera-based quality control, from shape memory polymers to 4Dprinting are concrete examples the staff of PBN is working on with companies together. PBN was established in 2006, to support added value growth of manufacturing companies. The first decade was characterized by innovation management, product launch assistance internationally, running an office in Beijing. In 2016 the focus was reorganized to digitalization – industry4.0 in manufacturing. It was the year when PBN prepared national policy paper for the government bodies and organized international conference to knowhow exchange about digitalization. It was the start of the new era. PBN founded its digital innovation hub in 2017, which is called advanced manufacturing laboratory, am-LAB. It is an organic continuation of the added value growth approach, with translating digital technologies to profit growth. There are four technological domains, at which the hub is active – robotics, extended reality, 3Dtechnologies and data science. Within robotics there are four categories – collaborative, industrial, mobile and aerial. am-LAB is focusing dominantly on collaborative and mobile, however with references and experience in each of them. In the service portfolio there are such innovative elements like integrating the different branded units, direct programming in multiple languages. References include support of open Pannon Business Network source application of robot gripper – welding - assembly interface, robot – 3Dscanner integration or mobile robot and collaborative robot fit. Extended reality is a commonly demanded service, which ranges from prototype visualization through mixed reality to augmented reality solutions. CGI animation software solutions enable novel applications, just like hololens with unity, or combined with traditional design software. Reference applications are broad, from mixed reality commercial spot through real-time data visualization to animated augmented reality product layout. In the field of 3Dtechnologies, 3Dprinters represent the basics. SLA and filament printers are available, from traditional smaller building plates to extreme builder size. 3Dscanning is essential for reverse engineering projects, a mobile solution is at disposal. Data science is one of the essences of am-LAB service portfolio. The majority of the team – 14 people – were trained for data science – coding, algorithms, etc. – to have a broad understanding of this decisive area. In terms of specialization segmentation and classification are the two most important fields, within them the small, heterogenous, abnormal datasets and their relevance to AI algorithms. In order to move to more holistic, interconnected approach, PBN purchased a demonstration or teaching and learning factory unit. It is a multiple cell line, including order taking, process management, quality control, warehousing, labeling components. The goal is to simulate potential error handling, one-batch size production solution for manufacturing companies. Currently, individual digitalization elements – like collaborative and mobile Digitalization for All - technology transfer in action robot – is realized, visualization frommarkers in AR from sensor data achieved, and digital twinning is being implemented. To support specialization for industries, facilitating growth of new sectors and in order to exploit existing features of the local ecosystem, PBN started to focus on senior home care, and especially on rehabilitation. PBN actively contributed to the vision and strategy setting of the city and that of the county, also catalyzing international expert pool involvement into the regional planning procedure. As a result of internal growth and external relevance, a so called smart senior home was established and developed in 2021. Based on research with the social care provider organization owned by the municipality, a decade-long focus on innovation generation in the health and care sectors, PBN established its unit, dealing with advanced technologies in home care, called at.home. The approach is based on three principles or needs that characterize the senior home care – socializing, safety and health monitoring. Over 50 digital solutions are included and thematically organized to provide a test and development infrastructure for the care development industry. PBN has over 450 European Union partners, with whom joint projects were implemented since 2006. More than 75 Horizon and Interreg projects represent the pool of actions, dealing with applied research and partnership building. Strategic partners are Fraunhofer, ECHAlliance, meanwhile PBN is also the national representative and partner of EIT Manufacturing in Hungary. EDUCATION 11 The number of students at the Faculty of Health Sciences of the University of Pécs, in the Szombathely Campus has been steadily increasing in recent years, and now exceeds 370. With the expansion of the educational programs, and the increase in the number of students, we place great emphasis on the development of quality education and its conditions. In Szombathely, in addition to the new Bachelor’s degree programs in Dietetics and Physiotherapy, which started in 2021, the Bachelor’s degree program in Medical Diagnostics Analytics and the Master’s degree programs in sports management were launched in 2022. Over the next 5 years, our student numbers are projected to grow by 200 students, thanks to the recent launches of new programs and new specializations planned in the near future. Our development vision is to improve the condition of the building, renovate and modernise the demonstration classrooms for the education of midwives, paramedics, physiotherapists, nurses and health visitors, to create the infrastructural foundations for the Complex Rehabilitation Centre, and, in addition to the expansion of the building, to improve the equipment essential for modern education in the coming years. With the construction of a new part of the building, we are planning to create physiotherapy, ergotherapy and hydrotherapy departments in the (almost 180 m²) part of the complex that also functions as a Complex RehaUniversity of Pécs Faculty of Health Sciences Szombathely Campus at the forefront of regional health professional education bilitation Centre (ground floor). In these demonstration classrooms, outpatient physiotherapy care for the general public, sports physiotherapy care, practical education of students, and other continuing education activities could be carried out in a complex manner. A complex vision would be helped by the inclusion of the prevention, treatment and rehabilitation segments, contributing to the assessment, improvement and treatment of the health and musculoskeletal condition of the population of the region, as well as to the long-term follow-up of people affected by Covid infection. We also plan to build 4 additional 40 m2 classrooms for our students. The new classrooms will provide a teaching environment for nursing and patient care (nurse, paramedic, midwife, physiotherapist, dietician), health care and prevention (health visitor), infant and child educator, as well as social and sports sectors. They also provide opportunities for the organisation of conferences, professional trainings, skills development trainings, professional competitions, professional days, professional presentations, and health promotion programmes and leisure activities for lay people. We are proud to be able to offer the Faculty’s highly developed simulation centre and sports laboratory facilities to students of any of our Campuses, and to provide a background for their research by doing so.
