MUSCLE Plenary Meeting

6, 7, 8 December 2006 Paris

Important Notice:

This Plenary Meeting will be the opportunity to actively launch the JPA3 activities. Focus will be on e-Teams driven activities and the presentation of the SHOWCASING activity. Thus several internal projects destined to deliver highly visual results able to promote the technology towards the research community will be introduced, with a particular dissemination focus on the Industry. The underlying objective of this showcasing activity is not only to bring integration a step further, but also to stimulate the uptake of MUSCLE technology by the industrial stakeholders in the field.
