BREMEN BONDING DAYS NOVEMBER 11-12, 2020

The Bremen Bonding Days are a new international conference at Fraunho-

fer IFAM. We took the concept of the long-validated German »Bremer

Klebtage« and merged it with the former EAE-Refresher course.

The first Bremen Bonding Days will take place on November 11 and 12,

2020 for the very first time. The conference is directed at practitioners,

technicians, engineers and managers in adhesive bonding from around

the world and will be held completely in English.

In five sessions, highly experienced speakers from industry and science

offer the latest insights and developments on surfaces, adhesives,

regulations, adhesive properties and production. Participants will have

the opportunity for exchanging views with expert colleagues and for

international networking. Furthermore, they will get an impression of

adhesive bonding technology at Fraunhofer IFAM during a tour through

the laboratories.

By attending the Bremen Bonding Days, all participants keep up to date

in their profession: The conference is recognized as continuous training

within the scope of DVS®/ EWF- and EWF-Personnel Qualification as well

as DIN 2304, DIN 6701 and TL A-0023.

As the worldwide leading independent research organization, Fraunhofer

IFAM has detected the potential of adhesive bonding technology very

early and has been offering commissioned research, development and

consulting regarding all aspects of adhesive bonding technology science

for over 30 years now.

With the Bremen Bonding Days, Fraunhofer IFAM aims to contribute to

the exchange of experience in adhesive bonding and the further develop-

ment of this technology on an international level.
