The first GFPS webinar, featuring GFPS research institutions, was a great success. Dr. Tatiana Minav delivered a presentation on Innovation in area of off-road mobile machinery to more than 70 participants, generating an engaging Q&A discussion.
The presentation PDF is available for download below.
We are happy to launch a new initiative: the GFPS Monthly Webinar Series. Each 60-minute webinar will showcase the expertise of a member institution on a selected topic, to give insights, and inspire discussions among GFPS members. The webinars will take place on the first Monday of each month at 10 AM US ET, except for holidays, according to the calendar below (please check for updates). We encourage all members to actively contribute to this exciting initiative!
The meeting link information are also posted in each meeting.

Since its inception in 1985 by Professor Yongxiang Lu, the international conference on fluid power transmission and control (ICFP) has been held consecutively and successfully in Hangzhou every four years. The 11th International Conference on Fluid Power Transmission and Control (ICFP 2025) will be held on April 14-16, 2025 in Hangzhou, China. The conference is organized by State Key Laboratory of Fluid Power Components and Mechatronic Systems at Zhejiang University. This year we will celebrate the 40th anniversary of ICFP.
The goal of the conference is to network, exchange ideas, and present the recent research trends in fluid power and motion control technologies. The conference will include technical presentations, keynote lectures, and social events. For the first time in the history of Maha events, there will be an exposition area to display latest component and off-road vehicles with latest actuation technologies.
