About ETC
The European Turbomachinery Conference (ETC) has been successfully held since 1995 and is aimed at researchers, design engineers and users operating in the field of turbomachinery. The conference is intended to be a key event for technology transfer across Europe through the presentation of the latest developments and best practices.
ETC is organised by Euroturbo as a joint biennial event with EVI-GTI. For the 2027 edition, EVI-GTI will manage and run an additional three-day parallel session focused on testing, measurement techniques and experimental validation. Besides the presentation of the papers selected for the conference, this session will host other presentations and activities, similarly to previous EVI-GTI conferences.

History of conference
At the initiative of the German, English, French and Belgian Engineering Associations a European Turbomachinery Committee was founded in July 1993 with the mission to organise at European level a bi-annual international conference on fluid and thermodynamics aspects of turbomachines as a replacement for the hitherto national conferences on this subject. The conference was to be different in scope, size and organization from the annual ASME Gas Turbine Conferences that take place every other year in Europe.
The conference covers all types of turbomachines, i.e. aero-engines and stationary gas turbines, compressors, steam turbines, hydraulic turbines and pumps, ventilators and wind turbines.
The conference is limited to only 3 parallel sessions in order to allow a more focused participation of the audience and to improve the active discussion in each sessions;
The planning and the review process and the scientific quality of the conference is the responsibility of the EUROTURBO (European Turbomachinery Society) organizing committee, the actual organisation of the conference is taken over by a local engineering organization.
The conference was also seen as an integrating element between the Western and Eastern European countries and as an additional mean to foster collaboration in turbomachinery research at a European level. Finally this conference is seen as an ideal forum to present and publicise the results of research projects funded by the European Commission and benefits therefore also from the support by the Commission. In the recent years the EUROTURBO is promoting the free dissemination of the papers presented at the conference, and it is now accepted for coverage in the selected Elsevier product to be indexed in SCOPUS. The last Conferences and the incoming received the ISSN number: 2313‐0067 for international recognition.
Contributions originating from non European countries are of course encouraged, as is the participation to the conference. To ensure a high scientific quality of the conference a very thorough paper review process with at least 3 reviewers per paper is employed. The best papers will be proposed for publication in an internationally renowned technical journal. To enhance further the quality of the conference high level experts will be requested to deliver at the conferences invited lectures on leading edge turbomachinery technologies.
Following the successful first twelve conferences on turbomachinery held in Erlangen (DE) 1995, in Antwerp (BE) 1997, in London (GB) 1999, in Florence (IT) 2001, in Prague (CZ) 2003, in Lille (FR) 2005, in Athens (GR) 2007, in Graz (AT) 2009, in Istanbul (TR) 2011, in Lappeenranta (FI) 2013, in Madrid (ES) 2015, Stockholm (SE) 2017, Lausanne (CH) 2019, Gdansk (PL) 2021, Budapest (HU) 2023 and in Hannover (DE) 2025
The Seventeenth will take place in April 2027 in Gdansk (PL)
