EUREKA is a computer based glossary of leather terms providing easy access to 9 linguistic versions of about 2300 terms, clearly defined in English. With interactive and multi-media support, this tool fosters the understanding of the terms, and improves communication with partners speaking a different language.  

Sponsored by the EU Commission in the framework of a Leonardo project, EUREKA was developed by  8 leather research and training centres (AIICA/ES, BLC/UK, CTC/FR, CTIC/PT, DTI/DK, ELKEDE/GR, LGR/DE, SSIP/IT and ICPI/Romania), working under the umbrella of their European trade association (COTANCE/BE). 

EUREKA provides operators with an innovative training tool that will improve very specific skills in the European leather industry. Each term can be seen as a database where information is expandable. Starting from an initial set of « Picture Files », users can expand the database by adding other files, such as additional pictures, short trailers, sounds or Word documents. This self-training activity can be performed in open and distant learning systems by linking up to individual or collective sources of intelligence (Tanning Schools, TANNET, Internet sources, etc.). As a result it provides every user with a rational, intellectual framework for Continuing Vocational Training (CVT).
