COMPETITIVE AND SUSTAINABLE GROWTH PROGRAMME Shared-cost RTD And Demonstration Project Concerted Action/Thematic Network Proposal number: Project acronym: Project full title: Duration: GTC 1 -2002 -73009 evitherm The European Virtual Institute for Thermal Metrology 36 Months, starting at 01 January 2003 Project Co-ordinator: Contractors: NPL ARC CNR-IMGC LNE PTB WP 3 - To enable EVITher. M to transfer knowledge to meet the needs of Industry and communicate effectively to different regions Co-leaders : IMGC, Franco Pavese / PTB, Joachim Fischer
Objectives of WP 3 (IMGC / PTB) Dividing European manufacturers into industrial sectors with common thermophysical needs and setting up representatives for each sector Investigating the differing regional needs of the specified industrial sectors within Europe and developing mechanisms which will enable EVITher. M to communicate effectively to each region Establishing regional platforms to facilitate access to EVITher. M for SMEs in countries with languages different from English. The regional platforms will be designed to encourage interested parties in eastern European countries that are applying for EC membership and countries outside the EC with languages different from English to take an active part in EVITher. M Determining and implementing databases of information required by industry, other than the technology covered in WPs 4 -9, such as manufacturers and suppliers of thermal equipment and services and appropriate training sources throughout Europe Assessing the need for specific Internet based training packages for selected industrial sectors and developing these where necessary. In addition, e-mail based discussion groups will be developed to monitor the needs and views of all EVITher. M users

Industry Sector Coordinators
Tasks of Industry Sector Coordinators Identify thermal knowledge requirements for that sector Identifying all of the main industrial associations and trade publications for that sector Identifying contacts for the sector in other regions Identifying lists of businesses within that sector Building up a network of contacts within the sector Flag data templates for industry sectors
Status of Material Group List
Tasks of Industry Sector Coordinators Today : different approaches seen Aim : Common strategy for all industry coordinators What is to be done with the collected addresses ? Compile them in the common data templates ? Contact persons individually ? Central action of evitherm ? Building up a network of contacts within the sector…… Using dedicated “confidential” addresses ? Privacy problem ?
