The purpose of the 16th international conference SIRM 2027 is to promote vital discussions between machine manufacturers, machine developers, machine operators, and scientific representatives in the field of rotor dynamics. Latest trends in theoretical research, development, design, manufacturing, monitoring and machine maintenance shall be discussed at the conference.The Faculty of Engineering (RITEH) from the University of Rijeka and the Croatian Society for the Theory of Machines and Mechanisms invite you to attend SIRM 2027, to be held in Rijeka, in order to combine science, engineering technology, and culture with an enjoyable get‐together for some days. The common organising committee cordially welcomes you in Rijeka and looks forward to seeing you at the conference.
