The Moving Power of Engine and Turbomachinery Research
The FVV (Forschungsvereinigung Verbrennungskraftmaschinen | Research Association for Combustion Engines ) is a worldwide innovation network of companies, research & technology performers (RTD) and funding bodies. In the context of pre-competitive Industrial Collective Research (IGF), manufacturers of automotive engines, industrial engines and turbomachinery as well as their suppliers and service providers work together with universities and other research establishments on cutting-edge technologies. The aim is to make engines and turbines cleaner, more efficient and sustainable – for the benefit of society, industry and the environment. The FVV has invested more than 500 million euros in 1,200 research projects since it was founded in 1956.

DFG presents 2018 Funding Atlas
What role do the universities and research institutes from Germany play in the European Research Area? And what about the proportions and distribution of funds within the German science system - between large and small universities or different subject areas, but also between basic and third-party funding? Comprehensive figures, data and graphics on these and many other topics are contained in the "2018 Funding Atlas" of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), which was presented in Berlin on 5 July 2018, together with the German Rectors' Conference (HRK) and the Stifterverband (SV).

Sharing new ideas to generate innovations
Europe is the world's largest factory of knowledge, ideas and innovation: Around one-third of the global production of know-how and innovative products comes from EU engineers and researchers. Cross-border cooperation unites the best minds and ideas. It makes the difference: globalisation - climate-neutral economy - energy transition in transport - mobility of tomorrow. These are just a few examples of the tasks of the future that need to be adressed - together with our members and partners in Europe and the world.
