The results of the third National Seminar on Mechanisms SNM’08 will be made known at the non-linear oscillation Technical Committee (NO TC) meeting on the occasion of the conference DSTA2009, which is being held in Łodż in December 2009; thus, SNM’08 activities will be presented in the NO TC report.
   Chairmen of some IFToMM committees have been invited to the seminar, and now we are waiting for their confirmation.
3. Taking into account the link with IFToMM and the importance of the theme of the seminar, the organisers of the seminar propose a post-seminar multi-authored book edited by a Publishing House abroad, provided that the number of papers in English allow it.

As a result of the discussions during the second National Seminar on Mechanisms, SNM’07, which was held in Cluj-Napoca on 19-20 April, 2007, regarding a better exchange of information among the ARoTMM members, we propose a database with all the books of mechanisms by authors from the Romanian universities.
