June 16 to 18, 2026, Samara
The Advanced Engines and Power Plants International Forum (AEPP2026)
The AEPP2026 will combine strategic and plenary sessions. Elena Druzhinina, Managing Director for Research and Development of State Corporation “Rostec”, will be the Chair of the strategic session on industry-academia collaboration in propulsion engineering. Through the plenary session, participants will explore the outlook for propulsion and power engineering up to 2035
Within the framework of the forum, an open platform was organized for constructive interaction between scientists, academicians, engineers and representatives of leading innovative industrial enterprises of the engine industry.
Speakers and experts from both the industry and scientific and educational organizations take part in the discussion clubs. More than 50 employees of enterprises and scientists of specialized universities and institutes will act as speakers.
Speakers have the opportunity to publish theses of their scientific works (the template is available at the link). The deadline for accepting abstracts is May 25th.

Discussion Clubs
Addressing key challenges and initiating joint research projects
Science block
The discussion club is devoted to modern approaches to the design of gas turbine engines: from methods of conceptual design and optimization of engines and installations to multidisciplinary modeling and optimization of engines and their components.
The discussion platform will consider the scientific, technical and infrastructural aspects of creating power plants based on hydrogen and low-carbon fuels for aviation, energy and transport, in the context of decarbonization and energy efficiency. Participants will discuss approaches to the design and modernization of gas turbine, piston and hybrid plants for hydrogen, ammonia, methanol, SAF and other low-carbon fuels, as well as issues of safety, storage and transportation of fuel. Special attention will be paid to the formation of a scientific and technical reserve, priority areas of R&D and cooperation between industry, science and education for the accelerated introduction of hydrogen and low-carbon technologies.
The main tasks of the discussion platform:
1. Analysis of the state and trends in the development of technologies for hydrogen and low-carbon fuels for aircraft, power and industrial installations.
2. Consideration of the adaptation and design of gas turbine, piston and hybrid systems to work on hydrogen, ammonia, methanol, SAF and other low-carbon fuels.
3. Discussion on the safety, storage, transportation and infrastructure support of the use of hydrogen and low-carbon fuels.
4. Formation of scientific and technological reserve and identification of priority R&D areas in the field of low-carbon power plants.
5. Consideration of regulatory, economic and strategic aspects of the transition to hydrogen and low-carbon energy, including the role of government support and international cooperation.
The main tasks of the discussion club:
1. Identification of current technological barriers, challenges and bottlenecks in the creation and operation of hydrogen and low-carbon plants.
2. exchange of best practices and experience in the implementation of projects in the scientific, industrial and educational environment.
3. Identification of existing competencies, scientific schools and infrastructure for R & D.
4. Definition of areas of cooperation: joint research and development, the creation of engineering centers, the use of common databases, digital platforms and test benches.
5. Formation of proposals for educational, academic and industrial programs aimed at training specialists for the hydrogen and low-carbon economy.
