About the project

The project T-IRM belongs to the Romania-Republic of Serbia IPA Cross-Border Cooperation Programme, in line with the Council Regulation (EC) No. 1085/2006, establishing an Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA).

This project is a contribution to the strategic goal of the IPA Programme to achieve a more balanced sustainable socio-economic development of the cross- border area, by means of promoting the know-how for an efficient exploitation of certain resources of the region.

In the business world the expression "time is money" is memorable. When it comes to risk, we must keep in mind that "risk is money". Risk management is one of the main ways to optimize the activities of stakeholder's power equipment, chemical, petrochemical and other industrial equipment and facilities. Thus, by managing industrial risk the SMEs account significant savings of resources, streamline their activities and therefore increasing the overall competitiveness of the economy in the border area is achieved.

T-IRM project have also a significant role on implementation of strategically objective regarding to improvement the quality of life for communities in cross-border area, since in case of technological accidents the pollutants don't take into consideration the borders and can affect the regional ecosystem and the life of communities from the border area.

By joint preparation and development of training courses in Industrial Risk Management, project sustains the social cohesion and economic strengthening in cross-border region, it stimulate joint development of skills and knowledge through cooperation between internationally recognized education body in order to increase the population with qualifications received due to educational exchanges activity. The main aim of the project is to supports improvement of people preparedness to find necessary and qualified jobs (active unemployed persons, persons looking for the 1st job, recycling of employed qualified personnel). Project support also increasing the contacts between people from both side of the border by joint dissemination of the project activity and results in Romania and Serbia.
