  27. The cement of the IIW:National Delegations Member Societies appoint qualified people to represent their countries in the IIW Working Units. These individuals attend the meetings of IIW Working Units. The role of these representatives in the IIW is to: Showcase their country’s technology, research output and expertise; Promote their country’s capabilities; Benchmark international best practices; Establish communication, collaboration and co-operation between their country and other Member Countries; Gather information about the latest technologies for transfer to their country’s industrial, academic, research and governmental establishments. 5th DFE Miskolc – HUNGARY, 24-26 April 2013

  28. IIW MemberBenefits • International Forum: for networking within the welding community during a short period of time at the Annual Assemblies or International Congresses. • Recognition of Competence: via the presentation of valuable papers or work to the welding community within the framework of the Annual Assemblies or during the meetings of IIW Working Units. • Education and Training: with the possibility of establishing an Authorized National Body (ANB) and of appointing Authorized Training Bodies (ATBs Training Centres) to issue IIW Diplomas to future Welding Coordinators. • Certification: allowing local and national industries to meet the requirements of ISO standards. 5th DFE Miskolc – HUNGARY, 24-26 April 2013

  29. Establishing a formalrelationship...whatpossibilities are offered? • Reciprocal benefits in terms of communications Use the worldwide recognition and visibility of the IIW web platform and events to communicate and promote your association. • Recognition of Competence - Sharing of knowledge • Participation at technical meetings and other events • Chairmanship of strategic working units • Enlarge your network • 800 registered experts • Permanent presence of major manufacturers at main events (participants, exhibitors or sponsors) • A recent initiative: International Welding Sales&Marketing forum • A place where to share experiences and develop the commercial activity in welding. 5th DFE Miskolc – HUNGARY, 24-26 April 2013

  30. A way forward: the vision of an ethical and Progressive organization The White Paper, a global vision to 2020 that leads us to define agendas for the IIW: - A new Governance - Becoming the major source of information on welding - Create resources to sustain growing economies - Strengthen the role of “a network of networks” in R&D 5th DFE Miskolc – HUNGARY, 24-26 April 2013

  31. Scope of the White Paper “This white paper (WhiP) is a common vision document agreed and prepared by the experts of the International Institute of Welding (IIW). It is not intended to provide a comprehensive coverage, but it is representative, precise and inspiring.” 5th DFE Miskolc – HUNGARY, 24-26 April 2013

  32. Objectives of the White Paper To identify the challenges for welding and joining technology in the global arena To recommend the implementation of strategies to find solutions to meet these challenges To agree on solutions for the next 20 years To promote the implementation of identified solutions on a national, regional and international basis through greater collaboration, shared knowledge and partnerships. To improve overall global quality of life i.e. health, safety, food, water, fair trade, environment, education opportunities. 5th DFE Miskolc – HUNGARY, 24-26 April 2013

  33. Key sections Welding Industry in the World Significance of Welding and Joining Needs and Challenges in Welding and Joining Sciences Needs and Challenges in Welding and Joining Technologies Needs and Challenges in Health, Safety, Education, Training, Qualification and Certification Needs and Challenges in Legal Codes, Rules and Standardization Needs and Challenges for Global Communication Needs and Challenges of Major Industry Sectors Short, Medium and Long-term Strategic Agendas of the World of Welding and Joining Technology 5th DFE Miskolc – HUNGARY, 24-26 April 2013

  34. Key idea: The value of welding Value added by joining in 2007 in Europe (source DVS) 5th DFE Miskolc – HUNGARY, 24-26 April 2013

  35. Trends: Arising reliability issues • Life extension of Iidustrialequipmentsbeyond original design considerations • Higher level of availability with reduced maintenance • Cost reduction has become a high priority in the completion of projects • Low skilled people • Poor materials • Old weldability problems re-occuring (lost knowledge) • Major risk of failure 5th DFE Miskolc – HUNGARY, 24-26 April 2013

  36. Trends: The Earth's economic centre of gravity is moving to the East 5th DFE Miskolc – HUNGARY, 24-26 April 2013

  37. Key idea: Technology diffusion as an answer to lack of education and qualification • Identify and analyse the needs of industry in a country • Source solutions to meet these needs • Disseminate of technology and information into companies, particularly SMEs and micro-enterprises • Adopt, adapt and implement by technology receptors of new technology/information • Improve performance of the companies • Provide feedback for further national improvement at each stage of the technology diffusion process Weak education system Passive scientific community Uniformed political leaders Limited financial resources Importer of manufactured goods No transfer of technology Bad economic climate 5th DFE Miskolc – HUNGARY, 24-26 April 2013
