 Welcome, welcome everybody here to this workshop, the 10th workshop of the Cross-Tacture Q142. Welcome Jules Luff, welcome Jules. Please come in. We've been here a little longer, we have had all of the training school, two days of lectures. Today the engine is actually that we also interact with the training school participants and maybe we can also find some support for the case studies, which is the main focus of this course session at the moment. So a few words to what has been happening previously, we had in May, end of May, the 9th workshop. So here we got a hold of the case studies strategies, models and tools and we have been working with this scheme, where we find a scope around our central information analysis and actually this part was also the central element for the training school because we ground inside the scheme. So this was the end of May and with the previous workshops. So I think this was a very good event so that we got started. We then had special sessions at the ICOSAR, two sessions with handpapers and at the IWSHM conference in Stanford, US, where we filled three sessions with 15 papers and we had an award winning paper in our session. So I think this is quite a development, not at all foreseen or predicted. When we started last year with the special sessions, we had a few papers, we filled one session and then there were also one or two papers which did not really fit the topic. Now there's quite some development to be seen, we have much more papers. Maybe there's still one or two papers which do not really fit our topic, but the amount of papers has increased and I think this was also very high quality papers. So I think this is a strong sign for penetration of this topic in science. I'm quite proud of it. This is what we as a course section here, one or two networks have achieved. In the beginning of the year we said that we should accept our network. So we had a status and strategy workshop and one aspect was that we spread out and now we have already had Mark Stewart as an MC observer from an international partner country that's the cost terminology. We are happy to contact with Mark Stewart, but now we also have Professor Michael Todd, one of the strongest representatives or one strong one in the SHM community. I think this is very, very important that we link to this, that we have a strong link to this community. And also Professor Dagan Lu, both have input their application in the cost system and it's somewhere in the system. So cost approval is basically needed, but this will happen very soon. I'm also very happy that Jean-Jules Quint joined our action, but he made it very clever. He came to Europe and he's now a participant of our action. He's not an MC observer, he's affiliated now to, what is it, you are an expert, right? And is it Alboq University you are affiliated to? Yeah, okay, yeah. So Jean-Jules is part of our action and we have pending applications from Jean Beck and Matteo. What is the plan? The plan is we can disseminate it at special sessions. We have organized here or we are in the organization phase for these conferences. Yeah, it's EWSG, especially to this one. We can come again during the day tomorrow. I think this is during the next presentation already, I think. I think we already, we would say some more on this conference, right? Yes. Yeah, you've also had this in your layer boxes. The focus of our action is on case studies and standardization. We should support this with scientific missions and I think another focus should be dissemination in scientific journals. This is the point where when we are collecting quite some conference papers, I think we then need to go on here with these scientific journals. I think this is the main points now for the cost action, the focus. There's many more pointers, of course, to focus on many more work. And remember, we will support and adjust to any good ideas as long as we have budget. I have to say, okay, and then this is something I always have to say. What do you promise? Dedicated dissemination activities. This goes to our workshop. This goes newly to the training school, which we have organized the first one just days ago. And it's overlapping, actually, the workshop. We are working on the home page. I think this is also something where we are getting hold on just now with the training school and the work of Working Group 3. And this is our standardization activities, basically. And we have just started with the Working 5 workshop. And it was that in October, mid-October, we just started to organize the work. We would like to focus here. And we are coming towards the end of the action. We have one more year to go. Actually, almost exactly one year. Because the start of the action was the 13th of November in 2014. So it's the 12th of November 2018. We have the official end of the course. So we are here. And you see here the Working Groups 1, 2, 3, they are still active. And so this is not white. This is a light gray. They are still active. That's because this is also reflected in this workshop. Because here we have the ideas that the active Working Group members of Group 1, 2 and 3 are supporting the case studies. They are here now for today for interactive work on the case studies. But the main focus is on Working Group 4 with the case studies. And Working Group 5, this is what I just said, has been started to organize itself a few weeks ago. So coming out of this 10th workshop. So this is what I already introduced. And we will get organized just after two general presentations. And of course we have deliverable. So we would like to disseminate the workshop report like we did for any other workshop too. So here we need case study results. And we will collect the results throughout the coming weeks. And if there was many workshops of these Working Groups here, then we need a fix. So this is the plan for today. The workshop opening, this is just happening now. And then Heller has been very active with the Innovation Committee. So he will inform us about Industry Innovation Days. Maria Joana will say something about social media activities. And so here we are also very active. And then we will have a coffee break and get organized for this part. We, Jochen and me will do this very quickly. How we are getting organized. Maybe Jochen you can say shortly the main idea, how we organize. So we have in total now 12 different case studies in the pipeline. About two thirds of it is represented here at the workshop. So we think it may be a good idea to split up in many groups and work individually. So we want to group the case studies according to their topic as far as consequence. And then we get all of magnitude is not decided yet. Three to six groups at work and workshop participants that should distribute to these groups according to their interests. Also the trainees from the training school will distribute to these groups. And then there will be a discussion about the main obstacles as we implement practical case studies to this concept of pre-post-european analysis. And each of these groups will have a discussion leader that somehow keeps track on the red line. And then it will be really a workshop atmosphere where we try actively to find solutions for problems. I hope everybody has a flexible mind today. There will be some interesting discussions. Okay, thank you. And continue until the afternoon that we have the serial comedy meeting. Two hours in the afternoon and we have the tennis workshop dinner. And you will find us in the agenda where we need to go. And I think we can also announce during the day how we are organized to get to there later. And I think just after the lunch break we will gather for a presentation about tools, right? And then in a little bit we will say something about tools to everybody. So we will gather just after lunch here in this room for a small plenary session. Okay, thank you for your attention. Let us have a good workshop. And let's continue with Hela.
