Employees of the Tribology Competence Center are active in numerous associations, committees and standardization working groups in order to transfer knowledge from research to industry.
By participating in the creation of norms and standards, the content of standards can be actively shaped and influenced. Those involved in standardization are integrated into a broad network of science, research and industry.
