1. Report WP5 Activities
W. Hohenauer

2. Prioritisation of tasks in WP5
It is important to meet industry needs
It is important too to establish a culture of efficient cooperation of WP members
Therefore WP5 starts with basics as:
Written standards including a ranking concerning applicability. Basics exist at NPL anf FhG-IKTS.
Existing reference materials. Lots of data available at all WP-partners.
Qualified data of materials relevant for industry (Metals ceramics, glasses, carbon materials, synthetic materials, insulation materials). Data exists at IKE, FhG-IKTS. Other data sources will be found.
Measurement techniques (push rod dilatometry, thermomechanical analysis, subsecond techniques, …)
Manufacturer of equipment

3. Prioritisation of tasks in WP5
Needs for a successful start up in WP5 are:
Agreed data policy
Agreed data philosophy
Claus Cagran wrote a very ingenious sentence:
”Depending on application customers should be guided to the relevant database. If no values are available customer will be guided to the optimum measuring technique and to the appropriate laboratory”
This philosophy ensures that partners of EVITherM feel themselves to be “industrial partners” of EVITherM. This makes EVITherM able to become a useful tool for advertising.
To be a “Non Profit Organisation” helps to establish this philosophy

4. Review lists of databases
Output of kick off in Leoben ( ) was: WP5 partners will not refer to well established literature as Touloukian or other data sources as web sites before
data policy and legal boundaries in the citation of data
are:
defined & clarified / agreed.

5. Besides
Review trade journals, trade organisations, professional institutes
x-x-x
Any other business – as redistribution of man-day allocations
There will be a need to shift some activities between WP5 partners or from WP5 partners to new contractors
