In 2006, the fith International Fluid Technology Colloquium was held in Aachen.

 

Preface

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

two years have gone by since the last IFK in Dresden and four years already since the event took place in Aachen. It's my pleasure to welcome you in Aachen to join the 5th IFK.

The Programme Committee was able to select an exceptional programme amongst 160 proposals from more than 20 different nations. The conference themed 'Customer Benefits of Fluid Power' aims at reaching all users of fluid power. It offers a forum to present new developments and innovations and to discuss the benefits with manufacturers and their customers as well as scientists from university.

The Workshop on Monday the 20th of March provides the opportunity for scientists as well as representatives from industry to introduce new developments with a special focus on demonstration and simulation. The conference on 21st and 22nd of March is accompanied by the traditional exhibition.

We are looking forward to the personal exchange and wish you a successful stay at the 5th IFK in Aachen in March 2006.

Univ.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. H. Murrenhoff
