Key Research Priority - Lightweight Design
The key research priority of Lightweight Design was established by the Centre of Excellence for Lightweight Design (LLK) and a Lightweight Design Cluster (LC). The LLK is a research institute with well-equipped laboratories for R&D projects in the fields of materials technology, structural stability, numerical simulation, lightweight construction, structural mechanics, bonding technology, composites, high-temperature materials, materials analysis, lightweight systems engineering and controlled systems). The LC is a network of 110 partners whose objective is to support cross-sectoral cooperation in the lightweight design technologies in order to improve material and energy efficiency.
