As a result of government restrictions and travel bans due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the ETN Board decided to cancel our face-to-face Annual General Meeting (AGM) & Workshop, planned to take place on 30 June and 1 July 2020 in Amsterdam. In order not to delay the AGM further, we decided to hold our first-ever entirely virtual AGM & Workshop.

Virtual AGM & Workshop Week: 29 June – 3 July 2020

Our Annual General Meeting (AGM) took place on 30 June 2020, divided into two parts:

• AGM: Opening and President’s speech, ETN’s annual report of activities and achievements, strategy discussion, financial report and ETN Board election results
• AGM panel session: “Research and innovation challenges for gas turbines  in a low-carbon world” with speakers from the European Commission, Total, Shell and Enel.

ETN’s Workshop consisted of four individual two-hour sessions:

• 29 June 2020: Additive manufacturing and new materials
• 1 July 2020: Gas turbines operational and fuel flexibility
• 2 July 2020: Next generation power cycles
• 3 July 2020: Condition monitoring and asset management for energy transition
