Info Platform

Basic Idea 

The primary objective of the Info Platform is to disseminate the results achieved through the technical work of the prostep ivip Association. In 2025, a variety of formats were once again employed to make project group content accessible and to facilitate exchange within the membership.

 

Milestones 2025 

In 2025, web seminars were no longer delivered as live formats but made available as recordings in the prostep media library. This allows content to be accessed flexibly and independently of fixed schedules. Contributions continue to consist of compact technical presentations from the project groups, providing structured insights into current work results and developments. Content is accessible to all members; selected topics are also made available to a broader public.

Overall, however, fewer web seminar recordings were completed and published in 2025 than originally planned. The on-demand format has proven its value in principle, and the number of recordings provided is set to increase again in the coming year.

Alongside digital formats, the Info Platform continued to support the planning and execution of specialist events. The STEP Day took place in Paris in 2025, once again providing a platform for technical exchange on STEP and interoperability. The JT Day was held as the "JT Day Express" in a fully online format, enabling intensive community engagement despite the virtual setting. In addition, the AI Day was delivered as an online event, while the Sustainability Day took place as an in-person event, placing sustainability and regulatory requirements at the center of discussion. The aim remains to combine digital and in-person formats in a purposeful way and to further strengthen the visibility of project results.

 

Outlook 2026

For 2026, the media library is planned to be systematically expanded and the number of recorded web seminars brought back in line with the originally intended level. At the same time, established event formats and topic-specific in-person events will be continued and further developed in response to evolving needs. For example, the STEP Day and JT Day will for the first time be held jointly as the Engineering Interoperability Day.
