INCOLAB, ConferencePrague, Czech Republic4th December 2003 INCOLAB Conference INCOLAB status and other 5th FP projects in the field of Measurement&Testing University of Ljubljana Faculty of Electrical Enginering Laboratory of Metrology and Quality (LMK) Tržaška 25, SI - 1000 Ljubljana, SLOVENIA Project Assistant: Igor Pušnik Igor Pušnik
5th Framework Programme • Programme Type:5th FWP (Fifth FrameworkProgramme) • Title: Fifth RTD FrameworkProgramme, 1998-2002 • Subject Index: Scientific Research • Objectives: • To maintain and enhance, in the context of a genuine "European research area", the research potential of European laboratories, universities and companies and their ability to produce knowledge of the highest level and high-quality technologies; • to help ensure that European research serves the EU economic and social objectives, in other words European research at the service of the citizen and European competitiveness in a global framework. Igor Pušnik
5th Framework Programme • Subdivisions of Programme: The Fifth FrameworkProgramme (FP5) has two distinct parts: • The Fifth European Community (EC) FrameworkProgramme, covering research, technological development and demonstration activities; and, • the Fifth Euratom FrameworkProgramme covering research and training activities in the nuclear sector. • FP5 has a simplified, multi-theme structure, consisting of seven Specific Programmes, of which 4 are Thematic Programmes and 3 are Horizontal Programmes. Igor Pušnik
5th Framework ProgrammeThematic Programmes The Thematic Programmes, covering a series of specific problems, are: -Quality of life and management of living resources (LIFE QUALITY); - User-friendly information society (IST); • Energy, environment and sustainable development (EESD); • Competitive and sustainable growth (GROWTH); Igor Pušnik
5th Framework ProgrammeThematic Programmes-Growth Research and Technological development activities of a generic Nature • Materials and their technologies for production and transformation (MAT) • Ensuring that European standards and testing laboratories provide consistent measurements and tests which are equivalent to similar measurements made by Europe • New and improved materials and production technologies in the steel field Measurements and testing • Support for Research Infrastructures • Measurement and quality management infrastructures) Igor Pušnik
5th Framework ProgrammeThematic Programmes-Growth Key actions • Innovative products, processes and organisation • Sustainable mobility and intermodality • Land transport and marine technologies • New perspectives in aeronautics Igor Pušnik
5th Framework ProgrammeProjects • 2129 records about projects are found in the FP5 Projects Database • By refining the search to Growth (programme), Thematic network contracts (contract type) and research (coordinator and participant type) there are 125 hits, INCOLAB among them. • EU Community research home page http://www.cordis.lu/en/home.html Igor Pušnik
INCOLAB INitiative and CO-ordination to prepare LABoratories in Newly Associated States for full implementation of the Low-Voltage Directive (LVD) Igor Pušnik
INCOLAB general objectives • Transfer of knowledge and expertise between the EU project members and NAS project members related to the full implementation of LVD. • Establishment and/or improvement of technical, administrative and socio-economic infrastructures related to the LVD in the NAS project members. • Establishment of relations among all project members as well as among project participants on a national level of each participating country, particularly in the NAS • Clearly identified priorities and specifics of development of technical infrastructure in NAS. • Analysis of socio-economic, financial and legal aspects of development of M&T infrastructures. • Creation of generic knowledge related to implementation of the LVD, which could be used with other technical directives as well. Igor Pušnik
INCOLAB specific objectives • Technical reports and documentation • Guidance documents, expertise, evaluation reports and assessment reports • Seminars, workshops, training • Exchange, establishment and purchasing of measuring standards and reference materials • Development of testing procedures according to particular written standards within the LVD • Evaluating uncertainty specifications and validation of testing methods • Validation of software and handling of databases • Development of specific measurement and testing equipment for measuring physical quantities related to the LVD • Establishment of technical infrastructures related to the LVD. • Assessment (i.e. accreditation) of certain LVD testing laboratories in some NAS project members.
