Additionally, the CREE made some proposals for future collaborative projects with the aim of fostering the development of the ergonomics profession in Europe: These include establishing quality criteria for publishing case studies, providing information about ergonomics education and training in Europe and providing more support for newer societies in the form of experience exchanges.

The FEES Council had also a first discussion on the issue of a possible name change: “Ergonomics” or “Ergonomics and Human Factors” but there was no consensus amongst the participants.
