The Association
The founding meeting of the Association of Friends of the Institute of Automotive Engineering of
TU Darmstadt e.V. (Verein der Freunde des Fachgebietes Fahrzeugtechnik der TU Darmstadt e.V.,
FFF) took place on November 1, 1997 as part of the 20th anniversary of the Institute of Automotive
Engineering of TU Darmstadt (FZD).
The mission of the association is to promote a spirit of solidarity and synergy among active and former
employees and friends of FZD, to promote scientific research and the exchange of scientific ideas in
the field of automotive engineering, to promote scientific work, especially that of FZD, to publish
FZDs research results, and to support students, employees, or members of the association in crisis
situations.
As of January 1, 2021, the association had 159 members.
