CCEFP Summit
University of Minnesota

Wednesday, October 6th – Thursday, October 7th 2021

Full program: Wednesday (ALL DAY) and Thursday (PARTIAL DAY)

 The Summit is a bi-annual meeting for the fluid power industry and academic researcher collaborators in the Center for Compact and Efficient Fluid Power.  The Summit connects industry to university resources and talent through technical presentations, networking opportunities, facility tours of the host university, and special features. To conclude the event, the Summit offers a closed-door meeting of the CCEFP Industry Engagement Committee (IEC).
