The
Centro Para
Prevenção da Poluição (C3P)
and the
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)
presents
C3P and NASA Technical Workshop
at Universidade Católica Portuguesa
Lisbo, Portugal
September 8-9, 2005
On 8 & 9 September 2005, the Centro Para Prevenção da Poluição (C3P) and
the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) hosted
a technical workshop at the Universidade Católica in Lisbon,
Portugal. The two-day workshop provided an excellent forum to
showcase innovative and emerging pollution prevention
technologies, share lessons learned, and identify new joint
opportunities. In total, 133 individuals from 9 countries
attended the technical workshop. More than 30 international
scientists, technologists, and engineering experts presented
PowerPoint slides on topics ranging from advanced coatings and
coating removal technologies to fuel cells to lead-free
electronics. This exchange of solutions provided direct and
tangible benefit to attendees from academia, defense, and
commercial industries, thereby helping meet the mission not only
of C3P but key workshop supporters such as the Luso-American
Foundation for Development (FLAD) and the Office of Naval
Research Global (ONRG).
The workshop began with welcoming comments from General (ret.) Pelagio Castelo Branco, C3P Director
General. Gen. Branco highlighted
those partnerships C3P has begun to form with manufacturers,
industry associations, universities, and testing and engineering
centers of excellence throughout the European Union. Ms. Olga
Dominguez, Deputy Assistant Administrator for Infrastructure,
Management, and Headquarters Operations at NASA, discussed how
C3P fits into NASA’s desire to benefit from international
scientific collaborations. Prof. Humberto Rosa, Secretary of
State for the Environment, highlighted the importance of C3P in
providing innovative ideas to better enable Portuguese
development and global competition.
At the workshop, the Israeli Users' Association of Advanced
Technologies in Electronics (ILTAM) signed a Cooperation
Protocol with C3P. ILTAM is the first Israeli organization to
sign a protocol with C3P and represents an opportunity to
leverage key resources and knowledge on validating green
technologies.
C3P is an international organization that facilitates partnerships with
the scientific & technical community in Portugal, Europe, and
the United States to identify and evaluate less hazardous and
sustainable materials for use in acquisition, manufacturing and
sustaining maintenance processes. The C3P is recognized by
Ministério do Ambiente, Ordenamento do Território e
Desenvolvimento Regional of Portugal (Portuguese Ministry of
Environment), and NASA per the Joint Statement Between NASA
and the Portuguese Ministry of the Environment Regarding
Cooperation in the Field of Environmental Pollution Prevention
Matters, signed on 18 September 2002.
Support for the workshop was provided by FLAD, ONRG, Instituto de Soldadura e
Qualidade (Welding and Quality Institute, or ISQ), Instituto de
Engenharia Mecânica e Gestão Industrial (Mechanical Engineering
and Industrial Management Institute, or INEGI), Associação
Portuguesa das Empresas do Sector Eléctrico e Electrónico
(Portuguese Association of Electric and Electronic Industries,
or ANIMEE), Faculdade de Engenharia da Universidade do Porto
(Engineering Faculty of University of Porto, or FEUP), NASA and
ITB, Inc.
