European Drive Technology Conference
Lucerne 2016
«Extreme Drives»
September 7-10, 2016
EUROTRANS Annual Meeting
Welcome
Company leaders, entrepreneurs and decision makers of our motion and drive industries will
experience an exciting time to understand «limits and extreme» performance, not only in
connection with our technologies, but also on stretching personal limits. The event provides
best network opportunities amidst the power of the nearby nature and discussions of extreme
applications in the conference center of Hotel Astoria. Your partners will enjoy a very attractive
program around Lucerne too.
We welcome you together with your partners on this unforgettable event. We will round up the
interesting days with another highlight: the EUROTRANS dinner cruise on Lake Lucerne
onboard a vintage paddle steamer.
We look forward to meeting you in Lucerne.

“Limits of Monetary Policies – Consequences

In his research, Jan-Egbert Sturm relies heavily on
empirical methods and statistics, concentrating
on monetary economics, macroeconomics as well
as political economy and with a special interest in
fields which are closely related to practical and
current problems.
Sarah Marquis
“Motion & Drive on Limits”
Sarah walked alone from Siberia to Australia
meeting the wisdom of Central Asia, the
tale-telling forces of the winds of the
Mongolian Plains, and the moodiness of the
administration in China, to finally arrive on
the 17th of may 2013 in south Australia
(Nullarbor plain).
In 2013 Sarah won the European Adventurer
of the year and in 2014 she was nominated
for the NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC –
Adventurer of the year.
