9. NAFEMS Exploitation Plans NAFEMS has a clear intention to take the learning outcomes from CCOPPS, review them and make them more general for industry sectors NAFEMS will then encourage companies from around Europe to incorporate these into their skills matrices for their workforce and their competency statements, relating to simulation There have been ‘Initiative in Skills Management for Engineering Simulation’ meetings held in London, Cheltenham, Berlin, Paris and Gothenburg over the past 12 months. These meetings are the first step to initiating a project to do just this NAFEMS truly believes that this is significant ‘win’ for the project! From the feedback from a brief questionnaire provided to delegates at the Skills Initiative meetings, it is apparent that an ‘Educational Base’ is of extreme interest to industry When we develop this further, we want to ensure that the Educational Base fits in with the framework published by the Engineering Council.

11. “What are YOUR exploitation and valorisation plans?”

12. Its been fab working with you all on the CCOPPS project! All the very best for the future and I hope our paths will cross again someday!

13. Thank you for your attention! T-T-T-T-That’s all Folks
