  • The Future of Gaming and Amusement in Europe a Collection of Essays
    The Future of Gaming and Amusement in Europe A collection of essays The Future of Gaming and Amusement in Europe A collection of essays 2 | EUROMAT Eduardo Antoja, EUROMAT President It is time for the gaming and amusement sector across the European Union (EU), represented by EUROMAT, to move from traditional coin-operated amusement machines to new forms of entertainment, either with or without cash prizes, as demanded by society in the 21st Century. We are ready to cross over, but the bridges have not yet been built. As a highly and locally regulated sector, the bridges needed to bring gaming and amusement into the 21st Century will be numerous, complex and difficult to build. They will only be assembled through cooperation between the sector itself, financial institutions and, by no means least, the regulators. Without the close cooperation of these three players, no bridges will be built and the gaming and amusement sector will stay in the 20th Century. “We will cross that bridge This process will not be without its difficulties. On the one hand, some EU Member States appear to require control of all forms of gambling and gaming while others when we get there!” embrace new forms, but only to such an extent as to operate these activities on the basis of state-owned and state-controlled entities. Against this backdrop, the (anonymous) European institutions have been slow to react to developments at Member State level, not only with respect to the regulation of new games (which remains entirely within the remit of Member States), but also in the enforcement of competition law with respect to the behaviour of individual Member States in the gambling and gaming sector.

  • The History of the Federation of European Materials Societies – from the Beginnings of the National Materials Societies to the Creation of a European Federation
    The history of the Federation of European Materials Societies – from the beginnings of the national materials societies to the creation of a European federation By Peter Paul Schepp, Frankfurt, Feb 2020 Translated and edited for FEMS by Hugh Dunlop and Peter Paul Schepp from: „Der Weg der DGM nach Europa – als Mitbegründerin und Mitglied der Federation of European Materials Societies – FEMS“, published in: Helmut Maier: 100 Jahre Deutsche Gesellschaft für Materialkunde 1919 bis 2019, Publisher: KLARTEXT Verlag, Essen, Germany, Nov 2019 with contributions from Margarethe Hofmann, Lausanne, CH; Ehrenfried Zschech, Dresden, D; Gernot Kostorz, Zurich, CH; Robert Singer, Erlangen, D; Wilfried Kurz, Lausanne, CH; Bill Clyne, Cambridge, UK; Hugh Dunlop, Paris, F 1 The European scenario: for a long time, industrial cooperation took place mainly at national level The history of the materials societies in Europe was initially influenced by the history of the economic interests of the basic materials industries. As early as the second half of the 19 th century, the steel industry in particular had recognized that, in addition to the extraction of raw materials, it was particularly the processing and testing of materials that could benefit from cooperation with the emerging polytechnic schools. The first specialist associations, later to become learned societies, such as the Iron & Steel Institute in England or the Verein Deutscher Eisenhüttenleute in Germany formed platforms for this cooperation. But it was only with the increasing expansion of technical universities and research institutes at the beginning of the 20 th century that the call for cooperation became more differentiated and led to the emergence of further specific specialist societies.
