The committee on journal bearings (jb) of the research associations Verbrennungskraftmaschinen (FVV) and Antriebstechnik (FVA) was a guest in Chemnitz on June 28 and 29, 2022. The JB research group of IKAT under the leadership of Prof. Hasse and Mr. Prase organized the two-day meeting. The location of the meeting was the conference room in the east wing of the university library. In addition to the results reports and the institute presentation, a highlight was the guided tour through the testing laboratory (contribution picture) of IKAT with test bench demonstration and buffet lunch. The IKAT was represented with four research reports and a presentation on past JB projects. There were lively discussions among the 40 participants of the committee and during the evening event in the Turmbrauhaus the scientific and industrial dialogue could be further cultivated. We as IKAT thank you for the active participation and look forward to the next committee meeting in February 2023.
