IBK will support the complementary training action;
2.- The pilot demonstration of this training action will be carried out by the textile and toy companies of the Consortium. Along with this activity, an analysis of non technical aspects will be carried out;
3.- Simustaneosly with the demosntrations (see Gantt chart), a wide-range diffusion process will get underway vis-a-vis the target companies;
