Review of Workpackages and Tasks

Analysis of Responses to Questionnaire

WP 3

• To enable EVITherM to transfer knowledge to meet the needs of Industry and

• communicate effectively to different regions.

Task 3.0

Identify and define

relevant industry sectors

Responsible: RGU, PLG

Task 3.0 months 1 to 6

• To identify and define relevant industry sectors with interests in thermal metrology

• To create a forum

• To review how these industrial sectors in Europe can be divided into regions to facilitate the best level of communication and to determine how EVITherM can best service the needs of knowledge transfer to and from them.

Task 3.1 - months 3 to 9.

• To compile a list of the specific information needs relevant to each industrial sector.
