In order to reinforce the profile of IFRF, and the future links from UK based IFRF to Sheffield University’s PACT laboratories as a preferred research partner, 11th ECCRIA delegates were invited to visit PACT.  26 delegates took up the offer (25% of the ECCRIA delegates). The group included visitors from 11 countries (China, Germany, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Pakistan, Poland, Russia, South Africa, Turkey and UK). Kris Milkowski, PACT Business Development Manager, welcomed the group and incoming IFRF Director Philip Sharman addressed the visitors at the end of the visit on behalf of IFRF. 

The photographs show a group of the visitors viewing a 350kW GT used for Flue Gas Recycle experiments and PACT’s Kris Milkowski addressing another group.
