EUROLAB – Driving Forces
•The internationalisation and globalisation process forcing EUROLAB to be much more active in the international arena;
• The organisation and political changes induced by European New Legislative Framework for Goods;
• The integration of new EU member countries;
• The changing market situation requiring more attention to be paid to customer of laboratories relationships, and development of new or improved services;
• The need to improve the technical competence and infrastructure of measurement, testing and analytical services in order to make the innovation process more effective;
• The increase emphasis on sustainable development, environmental issues and improved reliability and safety;
• The possibility to create or make use of novel R&D results (risk and conformity assessment for industry, economies and public authorities)
