European Union-Developing Countries Laser Processing Initiative

Objectif

The EU has the goal of becoming "the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world" in order to achieve secure employment in conjunction with environmental sustainability. To this end, it is concluded in MANUFUTURE a vision for 2020 that concerted effort is needed in order to provide European manufacturing with high quality and easily accessible research, technological development and innovation infrastructures.

For this purpose, the EUDEVLAS project offers the synergies which can be obtained at international level with respect to specifically Developing Countries as foreseen in activity 3.4.5.3: Cooperation with Third Countries in the field of nanotechnology, advanced multi-functional materials and new ways of production research.

The three leading nations among the Developing Countries - South Africa, India and Brazil - are already engaged in innovative research in Laser Processing. Such research is driven by the increasing realisation of the value of R and D in economic development as well as the need to establish competitive manufacturing industries. This is happening at a time when new laser sources are coming to market and it appears possible that Developing Countries may leapfrog the EU in some applications of Laser Processing.

A comprehensive exploration is planned of all aspects of common interest between the EU and Developing Countries in the field of Laser Materials Processing to establish appropriate contacts and identify areas of potential synergy. The mapping of current and future fields of common interest will lead to the establishment of effective and lasting international Teams of Excellence in Advanced Laser Materials Processing which can add real value at a European level. These Teams will be managed to develop innovative research project proposals in response to the priorities of FP7.
