The recycling loop encompasses the collection and dismantling of EoL NdFeB magnets and WEEE scrap, the recovery of REE metals through an indirect recycling process, the production of recycled NdFeB powder via three direct recycling methods, the manufacturing of magnets from the recycled powder, and the validation of the recycled magnets in end-user applications. Collection and recycling steps will be implemented in 8 pilot plans reaching a final TRL of 6-7. The combination of direct and indirect recycling technologies will allow dealing with any scrap containing NdFeB in any form (sintered or bonded magnets). The recycled NdFeB magnets will be used in the same applications as the magnets made from primary powder, since they will exhibit comparable properties. Additionally, they will be recyclable via the same routes. A Dissemination, Exploitation, and communication Master Plan (DECMP) will be developed to maximize the impact beyond the lifetime of HARMONY project. HARMONY will build upon existing standards during the development of the novel products, ensuring compatibility with market conditions and increasing transparency for prospective customers. The economic, environmental and social viability of these processes will be demonstrated via Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), Social Life Cycle Assessment (S-LCA) and Life-Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA). Furthermore, social innovation including citizen dialogue, policy issues, standardization and ethics will be considered to overcome the non-technological barriers that make difficult to introduce these novel technologies at the short term in the market.

The main composition of the composite waste is expected to be epoxy resin/carbon fibre (CF), epoxy resin/glass fibre (GF) and polyester resin/GF. The new methodologies will address the following challenges: 1) Study and development of suitable disassembly, quality inspection and characterisation of the composite waste, to be able to understand composite waste properties. As a result, it will be possible to decide if composite parts from EoL products should be repurposed or recycled depending on their value. 2) Show potential high-value applications for composite end-of-life: repurposing will be demonstrated through manufacturing 2 demonstrators (for construction and automotive sector). This will be done by matching specified requirements with dismantled materials using software and hardware tools to facilitate the fragmentation processes. 3) New innovative pyrolysis and solvolysis methods for recycling will be developed and tested to significantly reduce the processing temperature and time for those parts that cannot be used in repurposing. This will allow to save energy, and together with the post-treatments, improving the quality of the materials recovered (e.g., weaved fibres, sized fibres, recycled polyester resin, recycled epoxy resin and epoxy vitrimer resins based on recycled monomers). Secondary raw materials obtained will be used to manufacture 2 demonstrators for wind energy sector: a small wind blade root section and composites patches for blades repairing. REWIND technologies should be scalable to process high volumes of waste in the near future.

Most of these students decided to study only one semester abroad; whereas the structure of the double degree prorammes consists of a mandatory part of two semesters at the partner university. In these double degree programmes students have to follow a fixed stream and the courses are mandatory. Therefore most of the students who spent a whole year at the partner university and received the Erasmus+ funding during two semesters were double degree students. For all study programmes at Pforzheim University an intership, covering 100 working days, is obligatory. Some students are doing this internship in a company in Germany, some abroad in an European country and some find internships outside of Europe. A large number of students receive places paid by the company during their internships, therefore they didn't apply for an Erasmus+ funding for the period of their internship abroad. Students who applied for funding within the Erasmus+ programme were administrated via the KOOR/BEST consortium. Student mobility is still mainly focused on students studying within a bachelor programme, but the tendency shows an increase of the number of students in master programmes who intend to spend one semester abroad. Within this development more master students were funded during the reported period. Within the bachelor programmes students spend a semester abroad from the third semester onwards, latest during the sixth semster. During the final period of the bachelor programmes which consist of seven semesters in total, the students should be back at their home university. Students of master programs go abroad mostly during their third semester.Within the process of extending internationalisation Pforzheim University intends to increase the number of student mobility. Accordingly Pforzheim University could sign new agreements with a number of very good partners during the past years. Therefore more places at very good instituions can be offered to students who intend to go abroad within our student mobility programs. The number of outgooing and incoming students is quite balanced at Pforzheim University.

Since the beginning of the Erasmus programme Pforzheim University has provided more than 5.000 students with the opportunity for a study abroad experience at one of its European partner universities. Student exchange was mostly balanced for outgoing and incoming students.The current report 2018/19 includes 156 students from Pforzheim University who were funded within the Erasmus+ programme. Within the exchange programmes most students spent one semester abroad; whereas the structure of the double degree prorammes consists of a mandatory part of two semesters at the partner university. In these double degree programmes students have to follow a fixed stream of mandatory courses. Therefore most of the students who spent a whole year at the partner university and received the Erasmus+ funding were double degree students. For all study programmes at Pforzheim University an intership, covering 100 working days, is obligatory. Some students are doing this internship in a company in Germany, some abroad in an European country and some find internships outside of Europe. A large number of students received places paid by the company during their internship, therefore they didn't apply for an Erasmus+ funding for the period of their internship abroad. Students who applied for funding within the Erasmus+ programme were administrated via the KOOR/BEST consortium at Karlsruhe.Student mobility is mainly focused on students studying within a bachelor programme, but the tendency shows an increase of the number of students in master programmes who intend to spend a semester abroad. Within this development more master students were funded duringthe reported period. In bachelor programmes students spend a semester abroad from the third semester onwards, latest during the sixth semster. Students of master programmes go abroad mostly during their third semester. The process of expanding internationalisation at Pforzheim University implies to increase the number of student mobility. Accordingly Pforzheim University could sign new agreements with a number of accredited European partners during the past years. Therefore more places at high quality instituions are available to students who intend to go abroad. Within the Erasmus+ programme the number of mobility flows between Pforzheim University and partner universities in countries with which student mobility is organised via double degree programmes is higher. Therefore bigger cohorts of students went on an exchange to these partners. In all double degree programms students spend a longer time slot - two semesters - at the partner institution as a mandatory part of the double degree program. Pforzheim University intends to even expand the double degree programmes towards more partners. Through offering study aboad options and a further degree by a partner university may encourage more students to study abroad.The participation in the Erasmus+ programme is an important part to strengthen and further develop internationalisation at Pforzheim University. The intensive exchange between internationally accredited partners in Europe and the opportunities of sharing experiences with these strong Euopean partners sets an added value to the quality of teaching and applied research at Pforzheim University. Especially the clearly structured and well prepared study abroad periods within the Erasmus+ programme qualify highly motivated students for the European labour market. Besides a solid academic qualification, critical thinking, social awareness and abilities to work on sustainable concepts are strengthened.
