VRL-KCiP is a Network of Excellence in the frame of the 6th FP of the European Commission. 24 teams from 15 different countries want to create in a next future a new delocalized research structure at the European level sharing research strategies, knowledge and resources, responsibilities, rights and duties, and able to contract with industry. A better organisation of the European research in production will permit a better work than today, leading to a clearer vision of the research orientations and so a better quality of research.
Our main activities of research are:
- Develop new research tools and platforms for collaborative design and manufacturing
- Product models and product development processes
- Knowledge management
