The Cross-STC Group gathers all the fields of the ten Scientific Technical Committees (STC) in a general meeting for Fellows and Associate Members only, including discussions and decisions on new Collaborative Working Groups (CWG), future Cross-STC Keynote papers and their supervisation up to the publication, future White papers, etc...

STCs are invited to initiate Collaborative Working-Groups (CWG) on the basis of common interests in a particular subject.
New CWG initiatives should be forwarded with the Checklist (available in the members' Dashboard) to the Cross-STC Chairs (presently Profs. D. Biermann and E. Lutters) who will submit them to the Cross-STC Group meeting (for Members only) during the CIRP meetings twice a year.
The current Collaborative Working-Groups are:

The Corporate Members Advisory Group allows to focus the attention of CIRP members on specific industrial problems as well as on new research topics.
Corporate Industry Members are very valuable to the entire CIRP Community. They give feedback to ongoing and planned scientific work and can also give CIRP academic members recommendations for future industry-related research needs. On the other hand they establish networks within the scientific community and can receive advice and help for their current problems. One platform for this synergistic exchange is currently achieved at the Corporate Members Advisory Group (CMAG) meetings which are held during the CIRP General Assembly (GA) and during the CIRP Winter meetings in Paris. During the August General Assembly, a special lunch is reserved to the Corporate members where a friendly meeting with the CIRP officers and STC chairmen encourages a fruitful exchange of opinions and experiences.
Unlike for members from academia it is very hard for representatives from companies, industrial research labs, and service providers, to place papers in Vol.1 of the CIRP Annals. This is due to the high requirements regarding the scientific standard of papers in Vol.1. Therefore, CIRP Council and the Editorial Committee (EC) have approved a new route to accept CIRP Industrial Technical Papers, to allow their presentation at a CMAG paper session during a GA, and to publish them in a special section on our CIRP website:

Editor-in-Chief of the CIRP Encyclopedia of Production Engineering: Prof. Tullio Tolio
The Terminology Committee carries the responsibility for publication of the CIRP dictionaries on Advanced Manufacturing Engineering and the brand new CIRP Encyclopedia of Production Engineering.
They cover definitions and terminology for manufacturing processes, machines, tooling, materials and systems formulated by the Scientific Committees (STC).
The CIRP Encyclopedia of Production Engineering is already published but still under development. It represents the natural extension of the current CIRP Dictionaries of Production Engineering. CIRP members and Research Affiliates have full access from their Dashboard.
This online platform is providing authoritative, exhaustive, fast and easy access to terms, definitions and whole set of information in the field of production engineering (see in our "Publications").

The aim is to create a sustainable network affiliated with CIRP to promote and to develop upcoming young researchers in production engineering.
CIRP Research Affiliates will create an information exchange network on internet, exchange and discuss research results, create joint research projects, and get easy access to CIRP members.
