NFPA and the Center for Compact and Efficient Fluid Power (CCEFP) invite both industry and academic researchers to submit a short abstract of their work for consideration as a presentation at the next Fluid Power Innovation and Research Conference (FPIRC), which will be held October 10-12, 2016, at the Hyatt Regency Minneapolis in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The deadline for submission has been extended to May 15, 2016. Presentations should address fundamental or applied research or innovative development in fluid power or closely related fields.

FPIRC, which is co-sponsored by NFPA and the CCEFP, is the premier conference for fluid power industry and academic research in North America. It connects industry to university resources and talent through technical sessions, networking opportunities, laboratory tours, and panel discussions on the technologies and workforce skills needed to continue growing the fluid power industry.
