The GO-VIKING consortium is pleased to announce its upcoming Final Workshop, dedicated to advancing the understanding and management of Flow-Induced Vibrations (FIV) in nuclear systems. This three-day event is free of charge and will take place on May 20-22, 2026 (exact time to be confirmed) at the Gesellschaft für Anlagen und Reakrorsicherheit (GRS) gGmbH in Garching, Germany. This key event will bring together experts, industry stakeholders, regulators, and young researchers from across Europe and beyond.
You can now apply for a spot until the 15th of April: fill in the application form here (application does not guarantee a spot)
The workshop will showcase the scientific and technical achievements of the GO-VIKING project, which has focused on improving the prediction, analysis, and understanding of FIV phenomena in nuclear power plant components. Over three days, participants will engage in a rich programme featuring project presentations, technical sessions, discussions with stakeholders, and forward-looking perspectives on future FIV research challenges.
Several highlights are planned, including:
- A comprehensive introduction to the project’s scope and results
- Dedicated technical sessions covering FIV in fuel assemblies, steam generators, and multiphase flow environments, as well as fast-running methods for FIV evaluation
- The official presentation of the GO-VIKING Best Practice Guidelines, a major outcome aimed at supporting industry and regulatory bodies in applying reliable methods for FIV assessment
- Stakeholder exchanges designed to strengthen the dialogue between research, industry, and regulatory communities
- Sessions exploring emerging needs and research pathways shaping the future of FIV analysis
The workshop will be held in-person. Young researchers and early-career professionals are especially encouraged to apply, as the event aims to support knowledge transfer and engage the next generation of specialists in nuclear safety and structural dynamics.
Further details regarding the programme, venue, registration process, and logistical information will be shared in the coming months. We invite all interested participants to save the date, to fill in the application form, and to follow our updates as we prepare for this important milestone in the GO-VIKING project.
Due to limited number of spots available potential attendees need to fill in the application form before the 15th of April and will receive a confirmation once validated:
