History

About Force and Motion Foundation:

The Force and Motion Foundation is a newly created 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, fully funded by AMTI to support students in fields related to multi-axis force measurement and testing.

The Force and Motion Foundation sponsors travel awards and educational scholarships for graduate students on a continual basis. More than $50,000 in funds have already been allocated for distribution in the coming year.

The Foundation also serves as creator and curator of the Virtual Poster Session, an international resource for information exchange and networking within the academic community.

The officers of the Force and Motion Foundation invite qualified educators in related fields to e-mail them and discuss the opportunity to join the scholarship selection committee.

AMTI fully funds the Force and Motion Foundation and forceandmotion.org so that users of all force measurement and testing equipment can share, learn, and network with each other.
