| The Advisory Board (AB) is common for the other ETV related projects AIRTV, EURODEMO, PROMOTE and TESTNET in order to garantee a maximum integration of the different projects.
The AB should provide their experience in setting up and running verification systems and assess the applicability of the project developments for use in practice.
The tasks of the AB are to:
• review and discuss the progress of the project
• give advise on strategic decisions of the project
• support in developing concepts for international cooperation inside and outside Europe
The common Advisory Board composition is:
André Pirlet (Chair) CEN - European Committee for Standardization Brussels, Belgium andre.pirlet@cen.eu
Christer Egelstig SWECO VIAK Stockholm, Sweden christer.egelstig@sweco.se
Richard Gould UK Environment Agency Monitoring & Assessment Process Lancaster, UK Richard.Gould@environment-agency.gov.uk

| The Institute for Prospective Technological Studies is one of the seven institutes making up the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission. It was established in Seville, Spain, in September 1994.
The mission of the Institute is to provide techno-economic analysis support to the European decision-makers, by monitoring and analysing Science & Technology related developments, their cross-sectoral impact, their inter-relationship in the socio-economic context and future policy implications and to present this information in a timely and synthetic fashion.
Inside TESTNET, IPTS is contributing to every facet of the project that is relevant to its expertise and in particular provides two main inputs. The first one addresses the identification of promising technologies, drawing on the extensive database developed in-house, especially through the activities of the EIPPC (European Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control) Bureau. The second concerns the development of verification schemes, focusing on issues related to the optimal organizational system for environmental technology verification in Europe, taking into account operational and financial aspects.
