INSPIRE Fellows at the ASME International Gas Turbine Institute Turbo Expo 2024 in London.

5 July 2024

A great week for INSPIRE MSCA-ETN Project at the ASME International Gas Turbine Institute Turbo Expo 2024 in London. Most PhD Candidates of the network had the chance to present their recent progress with very high-quality papers and to promote their research thanks to the unique networking opportunities of the event.
