The EFDS thrives on the support and commitment of its members and partners.
With their willingness to support joint pre-competitive research, these also provide human, financial and material resources.
Through this personal involvement in the technical committees, the topics of scientifically based basic research, which are so important for sustainable innovations, can be introduced into the applied research of EFDS and later intensively accompanied as research projects with the project-accompanying committees.
This is one of the current core topics addressed by the EFDS “Tribological Coatings” technical committee. Whether at regular meetings at interesting hosts or more virtually at the present time, the members of FATS are always engaged in lively discussions about research priorities, taking suggestions from the partners and supporting the research partners with application-related questions as well as critical discussion points.
You can read some impressions of the work of the expert committee and the current topic trends in the journal VIP Vakuum in Forschung und Praxis (Vol. 32, No. 6, December 2020, pp. 22 – 23).
