TWCCC operates in a flexible way, permitting individual project support as well as general support of the consortium. In many cases, joint research is being carried out at manufacturing or R&D sites. The normal fee for participation is $45,000 per year, but larger funded projects are also carried out. We hold two meetings per year in which industrial members can learn about research results and exchange ideas.

•  access to state of the art non-proprietary software without cost
