Abstract
Within the Austrian network of excellence COMET K-project JOIN4+ companies and research institutes cooperate in funded research projects. JOIN4+ exhibits a total budget of 6.6 Mio. Euros, which is covered by all research partners, the Austrian government as well as the involved provinces. Currently eight different projects in two areas are treated. In this contribution the funding situation as well as selected results are presented. 11 Ref., 7 Figures.


Keywords: research funding, welding, friction welding, FSSW, modelling, AHSS
