CIMAC Events On November 26, 2009, the first CIMAC CASCADES Seminar took place, hosted by Germanischer Lloyd in Hamburg.This new event is aimed at younger engineers. 
CAse Studies in Combustion engine Applications and Design ExperienceS The topic of the first CIMAC CASCADES seminar for younger engineers was 'Fuel injection & fuels'. Our aim of this kind of event is to create a discussion forum for younger engineers and leading industry experts to offer a networking possibility for them. The vision of this type of seminar is presenting case studies from latest development projects. During the well attended event participants took the opportunity to learn about skills in real projects focused on experiences gained from case studies presented by 9 engineers. At the end an award was granted to the best presenter selected by the jury. The presenters: 
| 
| 
| Helmut Assmayr, AVL (A) | Daniel Bosshard, L’Orange (D) | Anton Brandstätter, Bosch Hallein (A) |
