Final Report Summary - EUROTURBO6 (Support to Sixth European Conference on Turbomachinery - Fluid Dynamics and Thermodynamics, Lille, March 2005)
The ETC 6 conference has taken place according to the dates that have been initially chosen, from March, 7-11 2005, in Lille, France. The conference location was at the Nouveau Siecle in the very centre of the town, allowing the participants to be quite close to their accommodations. The conference rooms where all equipped with microphones, overhead projectors, projectors and laptops.
According to the number of papers that were chosen and to the ETC policy, the conference was divided in two parallel sessions. Each session was chaired by a session chairman chosen among the ETC scientific committee members and also among some of the review organiser of the conference.
A set of five exhibitors was open during the conference meeting hours. During the conference, special meetings have also been organised for the board of the committee members in order to define the location of the next conference, the new ETC chairman and the list of papers that was offered for a special issue of IMechE publication. The total amount of participants was 230.
Each participant has received:
- a final program with all the sessions and paper's titles
- the conference proceedings on hard copies
- a CD Rom
- a questionnaire.
The conference was of primary interest to researchers, design engineers and users of turbomachinery components. The conference was intended to be a primary event for technology transfer across Europe in this field through the presentation of latest developments and best practice.
The conference was 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 relate the results of research projects funded by the European Commission and benefits therefore also from the support by the Commission.
