TWCCC operates in a flexible way, permitting individual project support as well as general support of the consortium. In many cases, joint research is being carried out at manufacturing or R&D sites.
The normal fee for participation is $45,000 per year, but larger funded projects are also carried out. We hold two meetings per year in which industrial members can learn about research results and exchange ideas.
Benefits to participants who have joined TWCCC include:
access to state of the art non-proprietary software without cost
cooperative research projects that directly benefit the company
detailed up-to-date information on research in progress
access to high quality M.S. and Ph.D. students for eventual employment
