Activities > ICFG Young Scientist Exchange Prize

The “ICFG – Young Scientist Exchange Prize” has been established in order to support the understanding of young researchers, of the importance of cold forging production as it is carried out by world leading companies and also to give them an appreciation of social and cultural differences and challenges in overseas countries.

A technical tour of one to two weeks, for up to 2 researchers, covers visits to establishments including: forging companies, producing special coatings and lubricants, tool making companies, machine tool manufacturers, research and academic institutions.

The ICFG Young Researchers International Exchange Prize is intended to be awarded every two years. The visit will be to a country or region with highly developed cold forging production, service operations as well as internationally leading R&D institutions.
