The Sections

The Nordic Section was founded in 1999 and currently has about 60 members. Its objective is to  communicate new findings relating to applied research and science. Sustainability and current  developments in legislation also play a key role. To this end, the Section organises regular workshops  and conferences. Further tasks include education and advanced training as well as cooperation with other organisations from the industrial branches of interest. A special feature and thus also the particular appeal of the Nordic Section is the fact that the members and guests come from four different language zones.
