Deliverables
The Plant Life Assessment Network (PLAN) was a unique innovative approach to networking that had never previously been attempted on this scale. The network was a Brite Euram Type II Thematic Network, initiated by the European Commission to facilitate structured co-operation between all cost shared action projects already funded by the Commission, which fall under this common theme.
The projects involved address a multiplicity of problems associated with plant life assessment and were drawn from Brite-Euram, Standards, Measurement and Testing, Nuclear Fission Safety, Esprit EC FP4 programs, plus programs of the FP5.
The main aim of the Network was to initiate, maintain and monitor a fruitful co-operation process between completed, ongoing and future EC R&D projects, thereby promoting improved cross fertilisation and enhanced industrial exploitation of R&D results.
The PLAN Network was officially launched on December 1st 1997. The project started with initially 55 projects, representing several hundred industrial enterprises, universities and research organisations covering a wide range of industrial sectors and disciplines within the area of plant life assessment.
Main results:
- The ambitious objectives and innovative ideas that originally constituted the PLAN Project have been developed into a mature Network, with effective technical meetings, and numerous well-received deliverables.
- The project has clearly demonstrated increased dissemination and cross- fertilisation of ideas, and has already received many clear signs from external sources that the strategy, and the deliverables are being recognised as a valuable contribution to the area of plant life assessment
Further, PLAN has grown beyond the original objectives and has demonstrated the potential to become a key pillar in the EC dissemination activities on research and technology transfer issues.
Finally the potential of PLAN not only as a dissemination platform but also as an advice forum for the European Commission comprising some potential 500 plus experts from the area of plant life assessment should not be ignored.
