Industry Colloquium
The next colloquium will take place on Friday, March 1st, 2024 at 2:00 pm (UTC +01:00)
In cooperation with the Fördervereinigung Fluidtechnik e.V., ifas organizes a colloquium during the lecture period. The industrial colloquium takes place several times throughout the year and provides companies in the field of fluid power with an opportunity to report interesting new developments and trends inside the market.
It is open to the public and offers both manufacturers of fluid power components and systems and users a platform for networking and technical discussions.
If you are interested in presenting a lecture for the industry colloquium, you can fill out this Form and send it to extkol@ifas.rwth-aachen.de.
If you would like to receive regular information about ifas events, you are welcome to subscribe to our Mailing-List.
