A virtual kickoff meeting for the ISIMON project took place on June 12th, 2024, bringing together all consortium partners to officially start the development of a truly self-sensing high-pressure composite vessel. The project is led by Chemnitz University of Technology, represented by the Chair of Measurement and Sensor Technology (MST), which coordinates the research activities. The consortium also includes:

• Riga Technical University (Latvia)
• Research Institutes of Sweden AB (RISE)
• Linköping University (Sweden)
• Composite Service Europe AB (Sweden)

The partners contribute complementary expertise ranging from carbon nanomaterial-based sensor fabrication, structural integration during filament winding, and nanocomposite characterisation to modelling, topology optimisation, machine-learning-based structural health monitoring, and composite testing for hydrogen storage safety.

This multidisciplinary collaboration ensures that ISIMON will deliver an intelligent fibre-reinforced composite vessel capable of in-situ health monitoring throughout its manufacturing and service life. Prof. Olfa Kanoun is the project coordinator.
