The Division of Fluid and Mechatronic Systems (Flumes) at Linköping University, Sweden, is hosting the 19th Scandinavian International Conference on Fluid Power, SICFP’25, June 2-4, 2025.

The conference is arranged on a biannual basis alternating between Linköping University (LiU) and Tampere Technical University, (TUT). The SICFP conference is a forum for exchanging information on the latest developments in fluid power. It is also a forum for socializing and networking among colleagues and friends both from industry and academia.

Papers are welcome across a wide range of fluid power fields, such as industrial automation, construction, material handling, mining and forestry machinery, aircraft, and offshore equipment. Fluid power is in an exciting stage of transformation, as requirements on efficiency and environmental compatibility are having a real impact on component and system design. Increased levels of intelligence, sensors, connectivity, and communication in machines will have a great influence on efficiency, operations and business models.
All manuscripts are offered the opportunity to go through a peer-review process to guarantee scientific soundness.

We look forward to meeting you in Linköping at the beginning of June 2025.
