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
