FVV Newsletter 03/2024

At our FVV Transfer + Networking Events, experts from science and industry come together to learn about the latest research findings and discuss future innovation needs. The events provide a valuable platform for dialogue between the fields of engineering, technology, the automotive, mobility and energy industries.
This symposium and transfer platform for Industrial Collective Research is dedicated to the technological and scientific foundations for climate neutrality and zero-impact emissions. The conference also provides a platform for young scientists and their innovative contributions. #wearetransfer

This autumn, we would also like to use the FVV Meeting of Members, which is always held in the framework of the Event, as an opportunity to bid farewell to our former Managing Director Dietmar Goericke.

You can find out more about the complete program and many other issues in this newsletter.
