A major Centrepiece Stand detailing CIT Student Projects in conjunction with Munster Rugby, including scrum optimisation through biomechanics, lineout training, rugby boot pressure analysis, No. 8 trainer and 3D gym Motion Tracking System Design/Development, is to be featured.
The 2013 exhibition sees a major expansion from 190 stands in 2012 to 240 stands in 2013. The 2013 expansion to a total of in excess of 240 exhibiting stands underscores the status of the Cork exhibition as by far the largest educational and innovation engineering event in Ireland and perhaps even in Europe.
