• Industrial Process Analysis is now
  one of the major development areas
  in analytical research in Europe and
  across the world.
• In order to effectively co-ordinate the
  development work being carried within
  the Union it is essential that a virtual
  institute be formed to oversee projects in
  this area, act as a clearing house and
  contact centre as well as to act as a
  multiplier for the results obtained.
