La Sixieme Conference annuelle de l'EAEEIE se tiendra a Bologne, la capitale de la region Emilie Romagne du mercredi 31 mai au vendredi 2 juin 1995, dans le cadre des manifestations du centenaire de l'invention de la radio par Guglielmo Marconi. TOPICS / SUBJECTS ----------------- Development in Information Technology, Automation and Communications are changing many aspects of economic and social life, such as ways of working and reporting, organisation of enterprises, methods of communication and the objectives of engineering formation. These changes augment industrial productivity and the quality and performance of services. In the white book 'Growth, Competition and Occupation' of the European Commission, it is recognised that the competiveness of the European Economy will depend for the most part on developments in the technology associated with electrical and electronic systems, and the ability to utilise these developments constructively. A weak point in the European system is its limited capacity to transform scientific progress and technological realisations into successful industrial and commercial activity. The origin of the factors of this weakness are varied: - insufficient liaison between universities and industry, - reticence to invest in activities whose results are uncertain, - little consideration given to research and development in the strategic plans of a company, - absence of aid to researchers for the creation of enterprises, - absence of common strategies between enterprises, universities and government agencies. The aim of this conference is to promote the exchange of ideas and experience in the different sectors of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology in the different European countries. Particular consideration will be given to the experiences which are of concern to the small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs), which for them, the application of results of research is most difficult. To compete at world level the needs of the SMEs must be appreciated and activities oriented towards solving their problems. Papers will be in the general framework of transferring results of research to the sector of production, presentations will be reports from experiences in the following domaines. - Programmes of industrial conversion from traditional technology towards the new technologies of Automation, IT and Communications. - Experiences of collaboration between universities and research organisations with industry. - The role of further education and continuous professional development (CPD) to assist the transfer of technology. - The efficiency of special actions of the European Union oriented to encourage collaboration between research organisations and enterprises. Le developpement des technologies de l'information, de l'automatique et de la communication induit de profonds changements dans la vie economique et sociale. On peut citer les methodes de travail, les rapports de l'homme avec le travail, l'organisation des entreprises, les objectifs de la formation et les modalites de communication. Ces transformations tendent a augmenter la productivite industrielle, la qualite et la performance des services. Dans le livre blanc 'Croissance, concurrence, occupation', edite par les Commissions Europiennes, les auteurs mettent en ividence que la concurrence de l'economie europeenne dependra en grande partie des conditions d'utilisation et du developpement des technologies des systhmes electriques et electroniques. Un des points faible du systeme europeen est sa capacite limitee a transformer les progres scientifiques et les realisations technologiques en succes industriels et commerciaux. Les facteurs suivants semblent etre à l'origine de cette faiblesse: - liaisons insuffisantes entre les universitis et les industries, - reticence a investir dans des activites pour lesquelles les resultats sont incertains, - faible poids de la recherche et du developpement dans la strategie des industries, - absence d'aide aux chercheurs pour la creation d'entreprises, - absence de strategies communes entre entreprises, universites et pouvoirs publics. Le but de cette conference est de promouvoir l'echange d'idees et d'experiences dans les domaines du Genie Electrique, de l'Automatique et de l'Informatique dans les differents pays europeens. Une attention particuliere sera portee aux experiences qui ont concerne les petites et les moyennes entreprises dans lesquelles il est generalement difficile d'appliquer les resultats de la recherche. Pour etre appreciee a un niveau mondial, cette activite de Recherche / Developpement doit etre necessairement orientiee Technologies de pointe, ce qui est parfois eloigne des preoccupations journalihres des P.M.E. Nous attendons, toujours dans le cadre general du transfert des resultats de la recherche vers les secteurs productifs, que les travaux presentes soient relatifs a des experiences menees dans les domaines suivants : - Programmes de reconversion industriel des technologies traditionnelles vers les nouvelles technologies de l'Electronique, de l'Automatique, de l'Information et de la Communication, - Experiences de collaboration entre universites, organismes de recherche et l'industrie, - Role de la formation continue dans l'amilioration de l'efficacite du transfert de technologie, - Efficacite des actions specifiques de l'Union Europienne destinees a encourager les collaborations entre organismes de recherche et entreprises, - Presentation des structures les mieux adaptees pour mener a bien des actions de transferts de technologie.
