WP7: Mechanics and micro-structure of agriculture plants materials    
 
    
    
 | 
 Objectives:
- improve networking with centres of excellence and laboratories in EU and Candidate Countries,
 
- establishing a training centre at IAPAS, ensuring access to the newest knowledge and data existing in EU laboratories,
 
- attract young researchers in field of mechanics and micro-structure studies of agriculture plant materials.

Deliverables and milestones for the package:
- strengthened links with European laboratories through experience exchanging - three missions to EU countries,
 
- one Workshop and lab-training for young researchers,
 
- joint scientific publications,
 
- arrangement for participation in new proposal of R&D project in FP.
