The RTD activities proposed will be aimed at developing, on a shared-costs basis, not only these future materials (synthesis materials, superconducting alloys, composites, "intelligent" materials) but also new related technologies (molecular engineering, "nanotechnologies", waste recycling, etc. - Advanced propulsion technologies. Research will be conducted in the aircraft, motor vehicle, railway rolling stock and shipbuilding sectors in order to develop new and more efficient and environment-frendly propulsion and transmission systems. For example, lighter engines, energy-storage systems and new braking techniques will be developed. - R ...[+++]esearch concerning standards, measurement and testing. The relevant Community activities will be aimed at harmonizing measurement systems and standards needed for the smooth functioning of society. The research in question will also provide a scientific database essential for the application of Community directives and regulations, particularly concerning foodstuffs, the environment and safety at the workplace. There will also be flanking measures in order to enhance the spin-offs from the programme, especially for SMEs. Total estimated budget: ECU 1 575 million 3. Environment Environmental protection is one of the major concerns of the present day. Arguably the challenge of the twenty first century will be to organize all human activities in accordance with the principles of sustainable development.
