The BRITE/EURAM programme(1) was launched earlier this year as part of the Community's continuing efforts to strengthen the technology base of its manufacturing industries (e.g. automobiles, machine tools, construction, clothing industry). The European Commission has just approved 163 new research projects for Community funding under this programme, together with 60 special "feasibility awards" aimed at helping SMEs participate in industrial research. RESEARCH PROJECTS The 163 research projets were selected from 645 proposals covering a wide range of industrial manufacturing technologies and advanced materials applications. Most of them ...[+++]are industrial applied research, being relatively large, industrially-led collaborative projects involving at least twon independent companies in different Member States. Eleven are research projects of a more fundamental character, mostly in materials science and largely carried out in universities. The total number of participating organisations in the selected projects is 1021 of which 56% are industrial, 21% are research institutes and 23% are universities. Twenty percent of the participants are MSEs (less than 500 employees), representing 36% of the industrial partners (A total of 645 proposals was received, involving 3347 partners and costing more than 1400 million ECU).
