Our friends and CU Switzerland member from the Hightechzentrum Aargau invite you to the event "Transnational Lightweighting Projects" together their partner ELA - European Lightweight Association on 16 April in Brugg. The participation of many industry players and funding organisations demonstrates the high relevance of the lightweight industry in Switzerland. It also shows that a higher funding rate is desired for this important interdisciplinary topic and that the participants are open to collaboration in international cooperation projects.  The keynote speech on European cooperation, networks and funding programmes for lightweight initiatives is worth highlighting here. The programme will be rounded off with further presentations from the practical side, a panel discussion and an Apéro at the end.
