The project consists in the achievement of a multiple users research center (MURC) in the fields of high-voltage engineering and in that of electromagnetic compatibility. Four research centers from 3 technical universities were involved. MURC has an inter-university framework of organisation, directed mainly to the development of research, high-level education and training. At the same time, MURC has facilities for inter-disciplinary research, as well as for the participation in international research activity.
