WGP Annual Congress
The WGP has identified the topics manufacturing processes, machine tools, assembly, organization, industry 4.0 in production as well as advanced materials as decisive for the near future.
For the promotion of these five topics, the WGP Annual Congress takes place once a year. The WGP Annual Congress is to serve 200 scientists as a platform for the exchange of knowledge and experience. The current research results of the WGP institutes are presented in over 40 speeches and discussed with the participants.
Award of the Otto-Kienzle Medal
Every year, the WGP awards the Otto-Kienzle Commemorative Medal to an excellent junior scientist of manufacturing technology. At this, not only special performance in the scientific area is honoured but also the award winner’s personality. The ceremonial award of the medal takes place within the frame of the WGP Annual Congress.
Events
At the 37 university and Fraunhofer institutes of the WGP professors, expertise covering the entire spectrum of production technology is collected.
