Introduction

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.
