Community
The agricultural engineering community is very diverse and just as diverse in structure. Various associations bring people together with their individual interests and concerns. These clubs, associations and groups can be seen as hubs that hold the agricultural engineering network together.
In addition to knowledge of the state of the art in agricultural engineering and current issues, it is therefore just as important to know the community and find access to it. This is why the "Community" section was created in the Yearbook Agricultural Engineering, from where you can access the websites of many associations via the links provided. The listings can and should only be a selection. Links to other associations can be found on many of the websites listed.
Max Eyth Society of Agricultural Engineering
The VDI-MEG brings the "family" of German agricultural engineers together through events and working groups. You can access the VDI-MEG homepage via the following link (German language):
VDI-Fachbereich Max-Eyth-Gesellschaft Agrartechnik
The representatives of the academia in Germany are organized in committees of the Max Eyth Society of Agricultural Engineering of the VDI (the German association of engineers). Thanks to the VDI / MEG office, the following overviews of the committees and the institutions involved can be linked:
Technical Committee "Research and Teaching" / Fachausschuss „Forschung und Lehre“
The VDI-MEG also makes the "Research Reports on Agricultural Engineering of the Teaching and Research Committee of the VDI-MEG Department" publicly available. The following link will give you access to the database of more than 600 dissertations:
Dissertations in the field of agricultural engineering and related subjects are also published in other series. You can find access under the tab “Further Information of Developtments in Agricultural Engineering” and on the websites of the above-mentioned institutes.
Other Associations and Societies
The publisher has also compiled a selection of national and international associations. For structuring, a distinction was made according to national / international and listed alphabetically.
You can also use the following links to find out more about current developments in agricultural engineering:
-
Research reports from the Institute for Mobile Machines and Commercial Vehicles (TUBS, IMN)
- Dissertations from the Department of Fundamentals of Agricultural Engineering at the Institute of Agricultural Engineering at the University of Hohenheim / Dissertationen des Fachgebiets Grundlagen der Agrartechnik am Institut für Agrartechnik der Universität Hohenheim
- eJournals - Institut für Agrartechnik - Universität Hohenheim (German only)
- Fortschritte Naturstofftechnik - Herausgegeben durch das Institut für Naturstofftechnik der TU Dresden / Fortschritte Naturstofftechnik - Institute of Natural Materials Technology at the TUD Dresden University of Technology
