This workshop intended to contribute towards the transfer of background knowledge and expertise of Eurocode 6 writers (CEN/TC250/SC6) to potential trainers on national level. The principal objectives of the workshop were to:
- transfer knowledge and information to representatives of key organisations/institutions, industry and technical associations involved in training on the Eurocodes in Member States;
- enhance the training potential of the Member States by providing state-of-the-art training material and background information;
- contribute to the consistent and timely implementation of the Eurocodes;
- facilitate exchange of views, networking and cooperation.
The workshop was organised by the European Commission, Enterprise and Industry Directorate-General and Joint Research Centre, with the support of CEN/TC250, CEN Management Centre and Member States.
