March 28, 2025: The Joint ETC16 / 11th International EVI-GTI Conference has just been closed with a celebration. The conference was held from 24 to 28 March, 2025 in Hannover, Germany. The Local Organizer was the Institute of Turbomachinery and Fluid Dynamics of the Leibniz University of Hannover led by the Executive Director Prof. Dr. Joerg R. Seume, Ph.D.

The Conference was co-organized by EUROTURBO and EVI-GTI. 

The EVI-GTI Conference sessions started a day later than the ETC and hosted 41 presentations over three and a half days. Already on the first day of the Conference in Hannover, we had up to some 90 attendees in the EVI-GTI sessions and we needed to first get more chairs into the room, until the room was full with chairs, while even more people arrived. And so we had to remove some tables rows and replace them with even more chairs. The attendance continued to be high over the following days despite other interesting sessions, company visits, lab tours and more. 

According to the feedback from delegates, sponsors and officials from ETC and from the Local Organizer, the Conference was a great success, well organized and set new records. Some statistics that ETC Chairman Raul Vasquez Diaz presented: 

• 380 delegates had registered for the venue
• Delegates came also from the US, Japan, China and Ukraine.
• 52 sessions were held with more than 190 presentations from Eutoturbo and EVI-GTI.
• 5 Invited Lectures were held
• A Public Conference Night Session 
• Extensive Sponsor Exhibition & Networking Area with 13 Companies and boothes located around the Coffee and Lunch Area 
• Company Visits at MTU Maintenance and Aerzener Maschinenfabrik
• 2 Workhops on Open Test Cases
• Lab Tours hosted by the local institute
• A Gala Dinner with The Best Paper Award and the Claus Sieverding Memorial Award Ceremonies

Any feedback on the Conference is welcome.

More details and photos will appear right after the coinference, here and on the ETC16 website. - Did you take a good photo at the Conference? This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

After Budapest 2023, Hannover 2025, the Gdansk Conference in 2027 will be the 3rd Joint Conference of ETC and EVI-GTI.

In the EVI-GTI General Assembly Meeting (virtual) in December 2021, the EVI-GTI membership followed the suggestion of the Managing Board and voted for a closer collaboration with the Euroturbo. The details of the new collaboration of Euroturbo and EVI-GTI have just been written down in a Memorandum of Understanding between Euroturbo and EVI-GTI. 

EVI-GTI and Euroturbo have been associated already since 2019, after the Graz Conference, and have agreed at that time that EVI-GTI Best Presentations can be published in a Special Issue of the IJTPP.
