• ASPIRE
  From April 19th to May 27th, 2008 : RFID Information days
  The EU-funded ASPIRE research project aims at providing a software platform to make it easier for SMEs to build, acquire or deploy RFID solutions.

  A contributor to ASPIRE, Pôle Traçabilité, among other tasks, collects requirements from SMEs for RFID-based solutions. To do this, Pôle Traçabilité proposes four RFID Information Days, to provide SMEs information about the RFID technology, and collect their needs in workshops driven by an RFID expert from Pôle Traçabilité.
  The registration to those RFID Information Days is free, and they will take place in the premises of Pôle Traçabilité, on the following dates:
      - April 29, 2008: Health
      - May 14, 2008 : Metallurgy
