Four professional engineering organizations in Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia and Romania have joined efforts to promote continuing professional development in engineering companies following the exampleof the Institution of Engineers Ireland. Over the past decade EngineersIreland and the Irish Government have co-financed and developed amodel which employers of engineering professionals can use to connect disparate training, learning & development initiatives under abest-practices umbrella. In essence, the standard provides a framework for employers to support good practices in the area of lifelonglearning for engineers and technicians.It is designed to reflect andreward the ever-changing environments in which engineering andtechnical professionals work and learn. Five case studies from participating companies are presented and conclusions are drawn about thepossibility of using it in other countries.Participants will engage inthe utilization of the procedures in a concrete case during the session. ; Four professional engineering organizations in Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia and Romania have joined efforts to promote continuing professional development in engineering companies following the exampleof the Institution of Engineers Ireland.

During the post-bipolar period, the elimination of external pressure and super powers' infighting, cessation of the arms race intrinsically furthered rapproachment of military-political interests and geopolitical lines of the subregional states which adhered to multifold security models, bloc and integration policy. The report of J. Stoltenberg (the former Foreign Minister of Norway), the statements of which have already been implemented in practice, became an important milestone of this considerable progress. The Nordic Defence Cooperation will be better organized politically, coordinated and more effective as a result of some national structures' amalgamation. Even if any new military-political formation in the subregion will not emerge soon, the further cooperation reinforcement in this sphere may lead to essential change in the defence and security field.
