Europe training

The automobile ascended to dominance in North America starting in the 1920s, and in Europe by the 1950s. After World War II, most nonauto ground transport in the United States rapidly disappeared. The decades following World War II saw vast reductions in train travel, bus service, and public transportation systems in major cities. 

During the last fifteen years, Elizabeth has lectured and delivered training courses on quality assurance topics in the UK, Europe and USA. 

Lack of consistency throughout a study is likely when a pathologist has only recently become involved with rodent carcinogenicity. Training is often in a clinical situation (especially in Europe), where each animal or person is unique and there is in a rodent carcinogenicity study consisting of 500 inbred animals. 

Approximately 11000 cancer patients with various kinds of tumors have been treated with electrochemical therapy (ECT). This immense task was accomplished by training 2300 medical doctors through more than 150 ECT training courses between 1987-2001. There have been more than 1300 hospital and clinics in China offering ECT treatment over the past fifteen years. Although most of the treated patients were Chinese, a number of them also came from Europe, Australia, U.S.A., and Japan. 

This shift requires considerable education and training of the workforce and, in combination with possible mass production by 2020, necessitates early political action because of the required gradual build-up of manufacturing capacity and skilled labour. Further research work is necessary to analyse today s weak and strong aspects of the education system in European countries and to develop an action plan for adaptation to the new requirements. This analysis should take into account the demographics of the European nations, which is an important factor. Will Europe be able to find the necessary skilled labour such as engineers and technicians or will they import skilled labour from countries like China and India ... 

The objective of this NoE is to strengthen research in catalysis by the creation of a coherent framework of research, know-how and training between the various disciplinary catalysis communities (heterogeneous, homogeneous, and biocatalysis) with the objective of achieving a lasting integration between the main European Institutions in this area. IDECAT will create the virtual European Research Institute on Catalysis (ERIC) that is intended to be the main reference point for catalysis in Europe. 

Fortunately for us, we have not seen any recent situations where there was massive use of chemical warfare agents outside of the Kurdish regions of Iraq. The noticeable exceptions to this are the sites left over from WWI, and some training sites used by the various military establishments in the US, and Eastern Europe. There may be many other sites, but Tm just not aware of them. 

It is entirely conceivable, for example, that, over the next several decades, more and more pharmaceutical research will shift from Europe and the United States to Asia, especially to China, where there will likely be an abundance of highly trained and relatively low-cost scientific personnel to conduct the research. Even the more economically developed Asian nations, such as Korea, Singapore, and Taiwan, are likely to benefit from this migration, as long as they strive to have a comparative advantage in scientific research vis-a-vis the United States and Europe.
