Various systems and methods were discussed at the meeting but, as the member were interested in learning more details about some of the systems used in the member societies, no decision was made.
• Course accreditation
The trial course accreditation process is moving along in the Netherlands , however some delays have occurred. It is planed that the difficulties will be outlined in the final report and recommendations made to improve the procedures.
• Finland's status in CREE
Finland is a member of the Nordic Ergonomics Society, which has been processing the applications of Finnish ergonomists, however this has proven difficult due to the language differences. A discussion was held at the meeting about the possibility for Finland to join CREE as a separate member. The CREE bylaws require that national representatives must belong to national societies that are recognized by IEA, but representatives may be accompanied by observers when attending the CREE meeting. This was suggested as a possibility that Finland could explore.
