6th International Conference on Ignition Systems for SI Engines – 7th International Conference on Knocking in SI Engines

Even though Spark Ignition (SI) engines have been around for more than a century, there is still a lot of room for improvement, particularly in terms of power density, ignition, combustion control, and preventing uncontrolled combustion.
To offer all interested developers an inspiring exchange platform for the latest developments, IAV established two exciting conferences more than two decades ago, which are now held under the heading "Two Conferences - One Goal". This volume brings together the contributions to this conference.

---

With these two conferences, we at IAV have been offering interested researchers and developers the opportunity to exchange information on the latest developments in the field of ignition and combustion of Otto cycle engines for more than two decades. And this exchange is more urgently needed today than ever before, because the introduction of low and zero carbon fuels of synthetic or biological origin, such as hydrogen, ammonia, methanol, synthetic diesel or gasoline, etc. brings with it new challenges, which in turn require innovative solutions. Only through the exchange of knowledge and ideas will we be successful in making the combustion engine even cleaner and more efficient.

Our clear goal is to maintain these two conferences as the "last man standing" for exchange in this highly interesting and important subject area!
