                E. Complementary measures carried out by the Commission to encourage university—industry
                   cooperation including:

                         cooperation, the development of credit transfers;

             4. The second phase of Comett (1990-1992) shall serve to consolidate and develop measures launched
                during the first phase. It will in particular:
                A. Strengthen the European dimension of the UITPs by increasing substantially the number of
                   cooperative projects carried out between UITPs in different Member States; include in the network
                   new initiatives in other parts of the Community; encourage the transfer of experience gained into the
                   mainstream of the different systems in each Member State.
                B. Provide for the adaptation and expansion of Comett Community exchange schemes in the light of
                   experience during the first phase and the links developed with research activities at Community level,
                   broadening out as appropriate to encourage the mobility of other categories of students, trainers
                   academic or industrial staff within the framework of university — industry cooperation.
                C. Promote further joint training projects between European industry using prototypes and incentives
                   modified, as appropriate, in the light of experience during the first phase.
                D. Extend the use of open learning systems to improve the quality and delivery of training programmes,
                   and strengthen cooperation involving the training of trainers and managers.
                E. Extend arrangements for the extensive exchange of experience in this field.
