Harmonized Laser Technology Training across Europe
Start date: Sep 1, 2015, End date: Aug 31, 2017 PROJECT  FINISHED 

REASON FOR THE PROJECT: The increasing need for developing new technologies, that allow the production of new items, characterized by higher quality level and performance, results in a high need for personnel capable of using advanced manufacturing processes for new materials, with a longer lifetime. This projects supports EU polices of free movement of personnel providing equal training backgrounds, improves training quality and lifelong learning as well as qualification transparency and, more important, enhances employability. Worldwide laser industry reached in 2013 a growing 6 % compared to 2012 and also in the 2014 the forecast has foreseen a modest growth of 8 % . Laser welding manufacturing is one of the major increasing sector which in this years records in Europe AIMS & OBJECTIVES: The main objective of this project is to provide the guidelines to develop harmonized courses within the technological areas representing “hot spots” for the industry, dealing with welding. This objective will be achieved through the definition of educational materials for the training of personnel involved in LASERTECH implementation. CONSORTIUM: The consortium is constituted by the organizations of these countries, which have strong knowledge and expertise in training and qualification at a sector-based level. Several partners also have plenty of experience in the implementation and training in the field of welding. OUTCOMES: The objectives will be achieved through the definition of a harmonized system for the training of personnel involved in laser welding IMPACT: In the mid to long term, the experience developed for the project can be extended to other countries and have an extended impact in neighbouring regions. Development of qualified figures remains a central need to several different countries in Europe and some of them could benefit from the methodology and know-how that is to be developed in the scope of Lasertech.
