|  | 
| Objectives:
 
improvement and promotion of cooperation with EU and Candidate Countries in the field of evaluation of fruit and vegetable quality,establishing a training centre at IA PAS, ensuring access to the newest knowledge and data existing in EU laboratories,unification of measurement techniques and methods of quality estimation of fruits and vegetables,implementation of the European Standards of physical properties important for the quality of fruit and vegetables. |  | 
|  | Deliverables and milestones for the package: 
increased networking achieved through organizing three missions to EU countries,joint scientific publications,a workshop for post-graduate students and industry engineers in the field of fruit and vegetables,publication of training manual on methods of measurement and test procedures for evaluation of the quality of fruit and vegetables. | 
| General activities:
 
increasing comprehension of the physical properties of fruit and vegetables in order to design efficient handling and processing systems,unification of terminology and standardization of measuring methods for better understanding and comparison of results from different, interdisciplinary laboratories,closer collaboration with outstanding centres in EU countries to assure compatibility in approach to mechanics of fruit and vegetables over the partners network. |  |
