The Gas Turbine Society of Japan (GTSJ) celebrated its fiftieth anniversary in 2022, and a commemorative ceremony and lectures were held successfully. We edited the society’s fifty years historical data and has released it to the members’ site on our homepage. We also revised our educational material “Gas Turbine Engineering” and published the second edition in 2023. We will provide various forums for discussion in Japan and internationally to promote the development of gas turbine and energy-related technology. We will also begin preparations to host the international congresses, ACGT and the IGTC in Japan in 2026 and 2027, respectively. We hope our activities will facilitate collaboration between industry, government, and academia to accelerate the implementation of improved products.

 We will continue to take various measures to increase the number of young people who are interested in gas turbines, as one of which measures we have decided to wave the registration fee and annual membership fee for student members of our society. Furthermore, we will focus on discovering talented people and fostering human resources who will lead the future of technological innovation. We hope that many people will join our society and academic events to take part in the discussion about the future.
