Traduction de «Pilot-scale test » (Anglais → Français) :

The approach shall include both agenda-driven activities and more open areas to promote innovative projects and breakthrough solutions covering the whole value chain, including RD, large-scale pilots and demonstration activities, test beds and living labs, prototyping and product validation in pilot lines.

‘pilot projects’ means projects that apply a technique or method that has not been applied or tested before, or elsewhere, that offer potential environmental or climate advantages compared to current best practice and that can subsequently be applied on a larger scale to similar situations ;

With due attention to the innovation voucher concept, research and development will be supported with a particular focus on demonstration activities (testing, prototype, scale-up studies, design, piloting innovative processes, products and services, validation, performance verification etc.) and market replication encouraging the involvement of end users or potential clients.

In her introductory speech, Edith Cresson outlined the initial specific initiatives which would be introduced following the Forum, namely: the establishment of a European Federation by the national associations of small and medium-sized enterprises; and the launching of "regional innovative pilot projects" for full-scale testing of the project proposals adopted.
