On behalf of the Local Organizing Committee (LOC) of the Asian Congress on Gas Turbines 2022 (ACGT2022), it is my great pleasure to invite you to the congress, which will be held from August 24-26, 2022 at Gangneung-Wonju National University, Gangneung, Korea.

ACGT has been co-organized by Korean Society for Fluid Machinery (KSFM), Gas Turbine Society of Japan (GTSJ), Chinese Society of Engineering Thermophysics (CSET), and Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay). Since the 1st ACGT in 2005, the congress has given the opportunity for Asian (and other) professionals and researchers to share their knowledge and experience on gas turbines. We hope that the upcoming ACGT2022 will be another joyful event that provides valuable information on recent advances, new techniques, and applications in the field of gas turbine. Especially, this year, we have eventually decided to change the originally planned face-to-face ACGT2022 to the hybrid conference due to COVID-19. It is believed that the global situation will be better this year, however, this transition to the hybrid format can enrich the conference by providing participants from around the world with a wider range of attendance and presentation options.

Under the theme “the Role of Gas Turbines toward Net Zero”, the ACGT2022 will cover a wide range of hot topics as well as the most recent updates in various fields of gas turbine technologies. We will also invite key technology leaders in the global gas turbine community.

More importantly, the ACGT2022 will bring together over 200 professionals and researchers in industry, academia, and government over the world, thus providing a perfect opportunity for networking.

Gangneung is located in the center of Eastern-Taebaeksan Mountain, the center of the Korean Peninsula. It is most known for its beautiful beaches and densely green mountains, and is one of the most popular resort towns in Korea. We look forward to seeing you in the beautiful city, Gangneung, to develop friendship and to share the joy of a successful ACGT2022.
