Dear Colleague, dear Member of ETPIS,
coordination of activities among European Technology Platforms (ETP’s) has become crucial for further sustainable operation of Technology Platforms. This is especially true for the “horizontal” platforms like the Technology Platform Industrial Safety (ETPIS - www.industrialsafety-tp.org): the implementation phase of its SRA, especially within the new FP7 Call can take place only in close interaction and collaboration with other ETP's.

ETPIS, therefore, must look for such collaboration: industrial safety means safety at the work place (e.g. in the "factory of the future"), safety of real plants (e.g. the plants and materials in "sustainable chemistry"), safety in real constructions ... In order to give a further impulse to such collaboration, we kindly invite both members and non-members of ETPIS to take part in the forthcoming

2nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY
EUROPEAN TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM
INDUSTRIAL SAFETY
February 13, 2007
Stuttgart, Germany
Haus der Wirtschaft, Willi-Bleicher-Strasse 19
0174 Stuttgart, Germany
(http://www.hausderwirtschaft.de)

Please note that the first part of the Assembly is explicitly

open to all interested parties,

In the second part of the Assembly, reserved to ETPIS members only, the organizational issues important for the ETPIS activities in relation to the current FP7 calls, EUREKA, ERA-Net+ and other activities will be discussed and some important decision made.
We are pleased to confirm that Mr. Willi Stächele, Minister for the EU Affairs of Land Baden-Württemberg will take part at the meeting and talk about the importance which the Government assigns to this event, FP7 and EU affairs in general.
