Abstract submissions are now being accepted for the 20th Scandinavian International Conference on Fluid Power, SICFP, June 1-3, 2027. Abstracts are due by May 31 and full papers will be accepted until October 31.
The conference is organized by the Laboratory of Innovative Hydraulics and Automation (IHA) at Tampere University, Finland. It is arranged on a biannual basis alternating between Tampere University and Linköping University. The SICFP Conference is a forum for exchanging information on the latest developments in off-road machinery, robotics and other applications of fluid power from industry and academia. Fluid power is in an exciting stage of transformation, from perspectives of digitalization, intelligence, automation, and sustainability.
Nearly 200 people attended the 2023 SICFP at Tampere University.
SICFP is one of the world’s largest scientific conferences on fluid power and offers users, manufacturers, and scientists an international forum to exchange experiences in the area of hydraulic and pneumatic drives and controls.
It will be held at the Tampere Hall convention center. On the first day, the symposium provides a framework for presentations and demonstrations of fundamentals. The following two days of the conference cover a wide variety of application and technology orientated topics in parallel sessions. This will be accompanied by an exhibition at which various manufacturers will present their latest innovations.
“Fluid power offers advantages to the central drive and automation technology in many mobile and industrial applications,” said Tatiana Minav, Associate Professor (Hybrid drives) at Tampere University and chairwoman of SICFP ‘27. “Although the energy transition is leading to a change in prime movers, fluid power is still indispensable as a drive technology. With its key advantages like robustness and power density in addition to an increased focus on sustainability, digitalization and AI, fluid power can enable future key technologies. Thus it supports the global net-zero emissions target an the transformation of our society.”
Tatiana Minav delivered opening remarks at the 2023 SICFP in Tampere University.
Topics should be focused on zero-emission transition technologies for mobile machinery, such as:
- Novel, efficient and intelligent components and systems
- Digital and switched fluid power systems
- Intelligent controls
- Condition monitoring and predictive maintenance
- Noise and vibration mitigation
- Novel thermal management
- Functional safety
- Machine and fleet management
- Robotics, automation and autonomy
Authors are invited to submit titles and abstracts of proposed papers for SICFP’27 by May 31. Abstracts (maximum 500 words) should clearly outline the purpose, methodology, key results, and conclusions of the work. Submissions should highlight the novelty of the contribution and its relevance to fluid power and mobile machinery. Supporting figures may be included to clarify the main ideas or illustrate preliminary findings.
All abstracts will undergo a technical review by members of the Scientific Committee to ensure quality, relevance, and alignment with the conference themes. Successful authors will be invited to prepare a full paper and presentation. At least one author of each accepted contribution is expected to register for the conference and present the work.
