CO-LaN is conducting interoperability tests between software products implementing CAPE-OPEN interfaces. These tests are performed on computers owned by CO-LaN. Software vendors provide CO-LaN with free-of-charge licenses and in return receive reports on the tests performed, enabling them to improve if needed their implementation of CAPE-OPEN interfaces.

In order to let CO-LaN conduct more interoperability tests, Virtual Materials Group has renewed the CO-LaN free-of-charge license of VMGThermo. This arrangement is for the next nine months. CO-LaN thanks Virtual Materials Group for this.
