Strong Cooperations
Our expertise is in demand not only in the implementation of our customer projects. We also contribute our know-how to numerous organizations and initiatives that are active in amassing and disseminating knowledge in our field of specialization.
intacsTM
intacsTM is a registered non-profit association and the “home” of all assessors who are certified in accordance with the International Assessor Certification Scheme. IntacsTM was established in response to the increasing demand on the part of industrial enterprises and ISO/IEC 15504 experts. Both perceived an increased need for improving assessment performance as well as the quality and comparability of assessment results.
Against this backdrop intacsTM took on the task of ensuring high-quality assessor training in a worldwide community, in order to carry out assessment in conformity with ISO/IEC15504.
F+S actively contributes to the further development of intacsTM. F+S employees are member of the intacsTM advisory board and member of the task force "SPICE for Mechanical Development".

Promotion of youths
It is in our best interest to spread enthusiasm for the natural sciences and technology among children and youths early on. That is why F+S is involved in diverse activities for the promotion of young people: As a long-standing tradition we confer an IT award to graduating candidates of the Tilemannschule high school in Limburg. In addition, we are one of the hosts of the annual “Tag der Schulen” (Day of Schools) and invite young girls to visit our offices on Girls’Day so they can experience automotive embedded software development in action. We also have positions in our company for 1-2 trainees every year and support working students with their theses.
