Benefits of your membership
- You determine the topics and projects: At our semi-annual working group meetings, the members vote on the initiation and continuation of joint projects. In doing so, we utilise the diverse expertise and experience from various industrial sectors. In addition, we present innovative research approaches focussing on practical applications that could be of interest to you.
- We implement and coordinate for you: Our scientific staff point out trends, transfer current research results to your application and support you in the realisation of your project. They observe and document current market developments and access our institute's machine tools. Finally, they prepare all project results and coordinate the exchange of results between the working group members.
- You expand your personal network: At our meetings, you have the opportunity to exchange ideas and share information with market-leading industrial companies. This allows you to expand your network of potential business partners and your customer base.
