SGO - Stichtig Gasturbine Onderwijs
Foundation for gas turbine education
SGO (Foundation for gas turbine education) was set up in 1990 by the Dutch Gas Turbine Association.
SGO finances a professorate in gas turbine technology at the Delft Technical University, Faculty of Design, Engineering and Production and the Faculty for Aerospace Engineering.
SGO is the linking pin between educational institutions and the gas turbine industry.
From the late 90s, the objectives of the foundation expanded from only education into gas turbine research. In consultation with the industry, subjects have been formulated, funding was found and PhD candidates have been recruited.
The Foundation is financed by additional contributions from DGTA-members and contributions from other turbine related companies and institutions in the Netherlands.
