Through its connections in different Institutes, EPCS is able to organize
joint activities where resources are shared between participants. Examples
are:
- STANDARDIZATION OF OPERATIONAL CONTROLS OF EXPERIMENTAL PHYSICS EQUIPMENT
( e.g. power converters, beam instrumentation, vacuum, etc) 7 Institutes
participated to this joint project.
- PROFILE DEFINITION for VACUUM DEVICES (see below; 'Collaboration with Industry')
- SOFTWARE ENGINEERING
AND CASE TOOLS
- FUTURE JET CONTROLS EPCS loaned its workstations (donated
by DEC and HP) to JET to allow it to study the evolution of their
controls.
- HELP TO EASTERN EUROPE AND DEVELOPPING COUNTRIES EPCS lends its
workstations
that were donated by DEC and HP to allow control scientists in
central and eastern Europe or in developping countries to build up experience
with this
technology. Beneficiaries are: the Czech Technical University,
CTU.

EPCS represents a global market to the industry. This puts EPCS in
a position to encourage industry to undertake some developments of
interest to the community (for example: PROFILE
DEFINITION for VACUUM DEVICES). It also enables EPCS to negociate favorable
conditions for all european member institutes when purchasing software
licenses.
