The TCN Consortium meets this need. It aims at promoting high-level training activities to create, through focused training courses, the key resources necessary to ensure and sustain business competition. It exploits the potential of the new technologies that fall within the category of virtual prototyping and similar or complementary disciplines.

• Universities: point of reference for models, techniques and innovative methods;
