PETER – A Pan-European Training, research and Education network on Electromagnetic Risk Management

Sophisticated electronic technologies are increasingly used in mission- and safety-critical systems where electromagnetic interference (EMI) can result in substantial risks to people and the environment. Currently, EMI engineering follows a rule- based approach, which is unable to cope with complex modern situations. With this rules-based approach, during the design stage, guidelines are used, which result in the application of a set of mitigation techniques, which are verified in the finished product against standards. This rule-based approach is costly, but with no guarantee of the required performance. This is particularly so for sensitive medical applications or the fully autonomous systems that are becoming ever-more common in our society. What we need is a risk-based approach, which is what PETER , the Pan-European Training, Research & Education Network on Electromagnetic Risk Management, will provide. PETER is training 15 young engineers in topics related to the development of high-tech systems that maintain reliability and safety over their full life-cycle, despite complex EMI, such as in hospitals or transport systems. This is achieved using best practices and state-of-the-art EM engineering, reliability engineering, functional safety, risk management and system engineering, to create the risk-based EMC approach.
