The CleanProd coordination action

CleanProd is a Coordination Action led by CETIM (France) to observe, link, coordinate and consolidate RTD activities between 8 Member States (Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Spain and UK). It lasts 2 years and concludes on the 30^th of September 2008. It deals with 3 classes of environmentally unfriendly processes which can be improved innovatively: machining / forming , surface preparation, surface treatment. These processes impact many industrial sectors (aerospace, automotive, energy, agrofood, etc.).

2020 European visions for the development of sustainable manufacturing processes in these three sectors are designed, involving creative interactions between professional associations (the industry voice), environmental agencies and technology research centres. Based on the FUTMAN scenarios for Europe development by 2020, research roadmaps are proposed, pinpointing R&D topics that need to be coordinated at EU level and the ones that can stay at Member State level for the above 3 classes of processes. A European Observatory on sustainable manufacturing is launched during year 2 of the coordination action: it will become the permanent European knowledge provider for industry on these matters. The first outcomes are presented during the European Clean Meca 2008 conference organized by CETIM
