About EASIT2
The main aim of this Leonardo da Vinci European Transfer of Innovation project was to set out the knowledge and skills that a competent simulation engineer should possess.
The goal was to transfer, modify and extend the output from the previously completed and highly successful CCOPPS project, which developed a similar framework for the pressure systems industry sector, and to make it applicable to a wide range of industry sectors.

New Tools for Competence Development, Management and Recognition in Engineering Analysis and Simulation – Wednesday September 26th, 2pm BST
Overview
The EU-funded EASIT project has now come to an end after 2 years and this webinar will provide an overview of the ground-breaking deliverables produced. The project focus has been to define a set of competencies for simulation engineers across 23 technical areas. These competence statements are now available in a new web-based framework that will allow individual and group competencies to be recorded and managed.

Have Your Say!
The EASIT2 project is now in the final stages and will come to completion later in September. Over the past few months, each of the project deliverables has been tested and evaluated by industrial & academic simulation experts, including members of the project partnership to ensure the project objectives have been reached, and the needs of the simulation community met.
Following this, the educational base and competency framework will be available in the coming weeks and months and the replacement competency-based Register Analyst Scheme will be available in 2013.
The project would like to invite you to have your say in the name of the new scheme by asking you to complete this very short survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/EASITwebsurvey .
Replacement NAFEMS Registered Analyst Scheme Draft Overview Documentation, now available!
Over the last month a number of NAFEMS Regional Conferences have taken place across Europe, with the EASIT2 project exhibiting at each. With almost 1000 delegates in total at the various events, this was an excellent opportunity for the European engineering analysis community to learn more about the project and its deliverables.
There was considerable interest in the project at the four conferences that took place in Germany, Sweden, UK and France. Many delegates expressed a high level of anticipation in the forthcoming project deliverables, clearly demonstrating the value of the project to the simulation and analysis community.
During the NAFEMS UK Conference, head of the project – Dr. Jim Wood, presented to a full audience of delegates. Speaking about the EASIT2 project and the three project deliverables, Dr. Wood’s presentation was extremely well received and many delegates displayed a keen interest on the outcomes of the project.
Overall, the NAFEMS Regional Conferences served as a great opportunity to increase awareness of the project and a great deal of interest in the deliverables was generated – demonstrating the value and worth of the project.

Harmonisation of Codes & Standards in the Nuclear Industry – Webinar Recording now Available
On March 5th 2012, EASIT2, in conjunction with NAFEMS, held a live webinar on the Harmonisation of Codes & Standards in the Nuclear Industry. You can now view the recording of the webinar for free by clicking here (registration required).
After more than 50 years of development, the civil nuclear power industry is now ready for standardised reactor designs which will enable the reactor designs from one country to be built in another country. Such standardisation will help nuclear power to contribute to the clean energy needs and lead to safer and more reliable use of nuclear power around the world. One of the areas where the nuclear industry has taken initiative is to harmonise industry codes and standards. This presentation describes the first pilot project being run by an International Task Force set up by the World Nuclear Association under their Cooperation in Reactor Design Evaluation and Licensing (CORDEL) group to harmonisation codes and standards.
The Beta version of the Competency Framework has been launched and currently being reviewed.
Further details relating to the purpose and content of the Competency Framework can be found here http://www.easit2.eu/?page_id=8
