Community Board 42 - Thermal and process engineering
Community Board 42 initiated
The Community Cluster 42 – Thermal engineering and process engineering – organized its annual Community Meeting in a compressed form focusing on the initiation of its Community Board.
For NFDI4Ing to be successful, their communities shall know, use and evaluate the consortium’s work. This includes the status quo of developed, disseminated, standardised and provided methods and services to make engineering research data FAIR.
The Community Board of Cluster 42
The Community Board and its members are meant to represent the full range of the Community Cluster 42, spanning Thermal and Process engineering, which includes the DFG’s current review boards 403 (Process Engineering, Technical Chemistry) and 404 (Fluid Mechanics, Technical Thermodynamics and Thermal Energy Engineering).

In addition to members of each of the review board’s subject areas, the FMTV (Fakultätentag für Maschinenbau und Verfahrenstechnik) as well as the VDMA (Verband Deutscher Maschinen- und Anlagenbauer) and DECHEMA (Dechema Gesellschaft für Chemische Technik und Biotechnologie e.V.) have seats in the community board.
