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. | 
| General activities:
 
increasing understanding of interaction between micro and macro properties of agriculture plant materials,presentation of new techniques used for micro and macro-cracking investigation,better understanding of experimental results considered their practical application. |  | 
| Examples of activity realized within the WP7: 
micro-structure and mechanical properties of plant tissue as crucial importance for controlling and development high quality of fruits, vegetables and other food products. |
