EVITherMEVITherM Welcome to EVITherM level 1The European resource in thermal metrology

On Line News

The much-anticipated European Virtual Institute for Thermal Metrology EVITherM is about to be launched in late 2003. It will become the much needed focus of information exchange on all matters thermal between industry and research institutions – watch this space!

A research consortium based in three community states has at last solved the problem of measuring high temperatures by non-contact thermometry against intense radiation backgrounds

NPL finally moves to new building

EVITherMHow, when and where will it be set up?

Web-site

• generate a web-site specification ASAP

• select software sub-contractor and host

• aim to have web-site on line by early 2004

• data input over following 2 years

• self supporting by December 2005

EVITherM Kick-off meeting 27.02.03 Phill Giles THTC 17

EVITherMHow will it become self sufficient?

• by attracting paying members by mid-2004e.g. individual 75 euro/annum

SME <200 employees 350 euro/annum

Corp >200<600 employees 600 euro/annum

Corp >600 employees 1000 euro/annum

• small charge for thermal equipment, material and service suppliers to have their link in the directory e.g. 500 euro/annum

• by attracting Industrial engineers and technologists anyone who is involved with thermal issues in research, management, production or development

EVITherMHow will it provide for industries’ thermal technology

needs?

• bring a 24hr resource for thermal data and advice to the front-line of European Industry

• by surveying the present and future needs of industry to determine EVITherM’s content and provide guidelines for institutes and governments

• by utilising the Europe’s world class network of NMIs to support Industry’s current and future needs
