Euroabstracts: October 1994
"Euroabstracts" is published each month by DG XIII of the European Commission. It provides abstracts of Community RTD publications in addition to a review of RTD results, policies and activities. The October issue focuses on the status of EU research in industrial and materials technologies and the special CRAFT initiative for cooperative research projects. In addition, exploitation within the BRITE/EURAM programme for industrial and materials technologies is examined. Research and technological development in the field of water quality is reviewed with regard to strategic policy-making, standards, cooperation and training programmes. An article on heat exchangers examines their role in the conservation of industrial energy and their contribution to the Community's R&D strategy in the field of energy. The October edition includes some 25 pages of abstracts of recent Community publications on research, science and technology. These cover a wide range of subjects: chemistry, earth sciences, engineering and technology, energy, life sciences, materials, mathematics, computers and telecommunications, nuclear science and engineering, and physics.
