Abstract
We present and discuss the two-generator framework of nonequilibrium thermodynamics known as GENERIC ("general equation for the nonequilibrium reversible-irreversible coupling"), which is based on geometric concepts and on statistical mechanics. The usefulness and maturity of the framework are illustrated by reviewing a large number of successful applications. Finally, we offer an important challenge for the future. This abstract is based on the compact reviews [1;2] presenting modern nonequilibrium thermodynamics to applied scientists and engineers. In the spirit of a continuation of these reviews, we here add some new developments of the last five years.
