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 Prof. J. Aurich and E. Lutters) who will submit them to the Cross-STC Group meeting (for Members only) during the CIRP meetings twice a year.
