cooperative research projects

The Cooperative Research Program (CRP) provides targeted investment in key technologies to strengthen EWI’s technical capabilities. CRP research topics are selected with input from an Industrial Advisory Board (IAB), which includes representatives from a range of organizations with broad knowledge of industry needs. CRP research topics are selected to provide the greatest business impact by developing technologies and capabilities that address current and future needs of EWI member companies.

EWI’s CRP projects encompass a wide range of materials joining and allied technologies of relevance to a number of industry sectors. Results of the program are available exclusively to member companies so they may take immediate advantage of the latest advances in materials joining to enhance their productivity, competitiveness, and bottom-line performance.
