30.08 - 3.09.2026
Basic information
You are cordially invited to participate in the 14th Wdzydzeanum Conference on Fluid-Solid Interaction, which will be held from 30.08.2026 – 3.09.2026 in Wdzydze Kiszewskie.
This meeting is organized annually to integrate the community of researchers and inventors involved in modeling, testing and application of phenomena occurring at the fluid-solid interface.
The scope of topics is not strictly defined, but traditionally includes combustion processes, renewable energy sources, flow through porous materials, combustion in the presence of a catalyst, filters, fuel cells, cooling of turbine components, cost-effectiveness analysis, and energy storage systems.
We also invite entrepreneurs and employees of the energy sector to support the processes of commercialization of scientific achievements promoting the goals of sustainable development with their knowledge and experience.
All talks will be delivered in English.
The conference will be located in the heart of the Wdzydze Landscape Park, offering crystal clear lakes and lush forests.
Hope to see you in Wdzydze Kiszewskie

Conference venue
The Wdzydze Landscape Park is one of the most valuable natural areas in the Pomeranian region, encompassing extensive forest complexes, clean ribbon lakes, and a distinctive postglacial landscape. The park is renowned for the Wdzydze Lakes, often referred to as the “Kashubian Sea,” as well as for its high biodiversity, with numerous protected species of birds, mammals, and plants. The area is well suited for hiking, kayaking, and cycling, while at the same time preserving peace and the natural rhythm of nature. Its close contact with nature, limited urban development, and careful landscape protection make the park an ideal location for events that require focus, a connection with nature, and an atmosphere conducive to discussion and the exchange of ideas.
