Dear Participants

The organizers of the International Scientific and Technical Conference NSHP-SEALS 2027 are honored to invite you to participate in the next edition of the conference, which will be held on May 19-21, 2027, in Wrocław.

The conference is a continuation of the tradition of meetings between the scientific and industrial communities organized continuously since 1965. For over sixty years, the event has been a place for presenting scientific, technical, and implementation achievements in the field of fluid power and a forum for exchanging experiences between science and industry.

The aim of the conference is to present the latest scientific, research, and implementation achievements in the field of hydraulic and pneumatic drives, seals, centrifugal pumps, and valves, as well as the exchange of knowledge and experiences related to the digital transformation of industry. Particular attention will be paid to intelligent control systems, technical diagnostics, predictive maintenance, energy efficiency, and the use of artificial intelligence in fluid power. Furthermore, issues related to environmental protection, the circular economy, and reducing the impact of technical systems on humans and the natural environment will be discussed.

The organizers hope that the conference will contribute to the further integration of the scientific community with industry representatives, creating conditions for discussion, presentation of research results, and establishing scientific and economic cooperation. Traditionally, it will be a place for identifying current scientific and technical problems and jointly seeking innovative solutions.
