14th International Fluid Power Conference in Dresden: Final Spurt

Only a few months remain until the 14th International Fluid Power Conference on fluid-mechatronic drive and control technology, which will be held in Dresden, Germany, from March 19 to 21, 2024. The visitors can expect many exciting presentations and discussions on stationary and mobile hydraulics, pneumatics, fluid technology fundamentals, energy efficiency, digitization, data-based applications, and many other related topics. With the motto "Fluid Power: Sustainable Productivity", the conference addresses the central challenges of today's society: sustainable and environmentally friendly technology without performance loss.

One of the central meeting point of the conference will be the accompanying exhibition, offering opportunities to meet the leading experts in the fluid technology sector and exchange knowledge with users and scientists.

The IFK team around Prof. Weber is looking forward to diving into the world of fluid power and experiencing the latest innovations together with you. Ticket sales for the conference, including various options, are now open at https://ifk-dresden.de/

Global Fluid Power Society (GFPS 2024) June 17-20 in Hudiksvall

The Global Fluid Power Society (GFPS) is excited to announce the call for papers for the upcoming GFPS PhD Symposium 2024, scheduled from June 17 to June 20, 2024, in Hudiksvall, Sweden.

Hudiksvall is a center for Fluid Power industry in northern Sweden and the conference is organized jointly between Linköping University and the Hudiksvall Hydraulics Cluster, HHK. The conference will be embedded in the industrial landscape and there will be plenty of opportunities for industrial visits as well as an exhibition at the conference site.

This symposium offers a unique platform for PhD students worldwide to present their research in fluid power technology, and receive invaluable feedback from esteemed academics, industry professionals, and fellow researchers.

A notable highlight of this year's symposium is that accepted papers will be published in a dedicated book by Springer Nature, a premier global publisher of scientific content. This publication provides a great opportunity to increase the visibility and impact of your research. The book will be open access.

Conference Theme: Advancements in Fluid Power Technology - Sustainability, Electrification and Digitalization.

We warmly invite research and technical papers related to, but not limited to, the following topics:

  • Applications of Artificial Intelligence in fluid power.
  • Control and automation in fluid power.
  • Energy efficiency in fluid power systems.
  • Electrification of fluid power systems.
  • Fluid power in renewable energy systems.
