Research and Development
Research, innovation, and only a permanent development ensures the global competitiveness of each industry. For this reason, the DKG promotes the solution of fundamental problems that affect the entire ceramics science and related fields.
- The DKG has its own research association, the Forschungsgemeinschaft der Deutschen Keramischen Gesellschaft e.V. (FDKG), implementing all research activities.
- For the DKG as the largest ceramic organization in Europe, the industrial/practical community research (IGF) is the determinant part of the research activities.
- Irrespectively, the association also participates in other projects dealing with ceramic basic research.
- Besides, professional seminars give information about the current state of research inside the DKG-committees and -workshops and promote the exchange of future developments in the ceramic industry.
- The results of the community research may be published as scientific essays in the international ceramic trade journal, the „Journal of Ceramic Sciences and Technology“, which is co-published by the DKG. Results may also be published in the technology- as well as practically-oriented DKG association journal (cfi/Ber.der DKG).
