The 15th International Fluid Power Colloquium (IFK) is one of the world's largest scientific conferences dedicated to hydraulic and pneumatic drives and control systems.
Dates : March 9 to 11, 2026
Location : Aachen, Germany (Eurogress convention center)
Organizer : Institute for Fluid Power Drives and Systems (ifas) at RWTH Aachen University
Motto/Theme : "Fluid Power: Enabling Future Technologies"
Key Focus Areas:
The conference is an essential international platform for researchers, manufacturers and industrial users to exchange information, especially focused on the way that fluid power technology evolves to meet the demands of modern issues. The primary focus is:
- Sustainability and Net-Zero: Addressing the global net-zero emissions goal through component efficiency, energy monitoring, circular economy practices, and the use of sustainable/synthetic fluids.
- The Digital Transformation as well as AI: Exploring the integration of Industry 4.0, Artificial Intelligence (AI) Machine learning algorithms sensor technology, condition-monitoring along with automated engineering, into systems for fluid power.
- Advanced Systems & Components: Discussing new developments in electro-hydraulics, electrification, hybrid drives, intelligent control high-performance components, as well as the field of tribology (sealing technologies and surface modification).
The event will also feature an exhibit featuring the most recent innovations in the field as well as a dedicated to a GFPS Ph.D. Symposium track for researchers in the early stages of their careers to present research fundamentals.
