A 'Manual on RM production' and 'Guidelines on LRM Use' will be prepared and disseminated; the latter will be translated into the languages of 4 southern EU and 2 Associated States to allow wide dissemination Programme(s) FP5-GROWTH - Programme for research technological development and demonstration on "Competitive and sustainable growth 1998-2002" Topic(s) 1.1.3.-6. - RTD Activities of a Generic Nature : Measurements and Testing Call for proposal Data not available Funding Scheme ACM - Preparatory, accompanying and support measures Coordinator MERMAYDE EU contribution No data Address Zakedijkje 60 BERGEN Netherlands See on map Links Website Opens in new window Total cost No data Participants (1) Sort alphabetically Sort by EU Contribution Expand all Collapse all COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES Belgium EU contribution No data Address Retieseweg 2440 GEEL See on map Total cost No data
