Concurrent engineering network of excellence

Objective

It is widely accepted that for the effective advancement of the integrated product development environment within the overall context of concurrent enterprise there is a clear need for different organisations to continuously communicate with each other in order to exchange and share the latest developments and information. However, currently there is a lack of coherent infrastructure or mechanisms for the effective and constant cross-fertilisation of the research effort undertaken by various bodies whether they are in industry, academia or software vendors. Many of these organisations and institutes are involved in a range of concurrent engineering (CE) related projects both at European and national level. Due to the lack of effective co-ordination of these developments it is not possible to fully exploit the potential benefits from the output of R&D efforts currently in progress. Thus, the prime aim of CE-NET is to establish a well co-ordinated and effective support infrastructure throughout Europe in order to share and exchange the latest developments in the concurrent enterprise domain.

Specific objectives are,
- To provide the means for effective communication of tools and techniques available for the implementation of CE;
- To integrate better the work undertaken in different national and European R&D projects;
- To provide means for better cross-fertilisation of CE practices across different industrial sectors;
- To raise level of awareness of potential benefits accruable by applying CE approaches;
- To develop and provide means for better exploiting the results of R&D projects.
The activities and results will be,
- To build a database on available IT tools and best practice on CE and CE implementation;
- To provide CE implementation guidelines and recommendations for future actions;
- To organise information dissemination events;
- To identify new R&D topics.
The expected benefits for industry, research, and IT vendors are likely to consist of,
- Re-usability of research results through cross-fertilisation between various industrial sectors;
- A generic and modular approach to CE implementation strategy and methods for both SMEs and large enterprises;
- Implementation guidelines taking into account multi-sectoral, multi-cultural, and multi-lingual aspects;
- Existing IT tools for CE in more effective use, and full scale CE implementation facilitating electronic commerce

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.
