The von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics

Celebration of the 70th Anniversary of VKI

On 18–19 September 2026, the von Karman Institute will celebrate its 70th anniversary, marking seven decades of excellence in fluid dynamics and aerospace research.

This special two-day event will bring together VKI alumni, scientists, policymakers, industry leaders, international partners, and friends of the Institute from around the world to reconnect, exchange ideas, and celebrate a shared scientific legacy.

The anniversary provides a unique opportunity to honour VKI’s heritage, celebrate its major achievements, and look ahead to the next decades of innovation and impact.
Participation in the event is by invitation only and is exclusively open to invited guests, VKI alumni, and VKI staff.
