International Gas Turbine Institute (IGTI)

The International Gas Turbine Institute (IGTI) is a Group of The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). ASME helps the global engineering community develop solutions to real world challenges. Founded in 1880, ASME is a not-for-profit professional organization that enables collaboration, knowledge sharing and skill development across all engineering disciplines, while promoting the vital role of the engineer in society. 

IGTI's Mission Statement
To advance safe, clean, reliable, and affordable gas turbine and related energy system technologies by:​
Building a diverse global technical community for knowledge sharing and collaboration.​
Inspiring and developing engineers, scientists, and technologists.​
Promoting innovation and thought leadership across academia, government, and industry.

IGTI Vision Statement
To be the world’s leader and champion of innovative gas turbines and related energy systems to power a sustainable way of life.

Membership
The International Gas Turbine Institute has no formal individual or corporate members. Individuals interested in participating in the International Gas Turbine Institute should become members of ASME. Upon joining ASME, new members are asked to select specific areas of interest. Upon selection of gas turbines (technical interest #22), new ASME members will regularly receive the Global Gas Turbine News, the official newsletter of IGTI, as well as regular mailings from both IGTI and ASME, and are eligible for a discounted subscription to either the Journal of Engineering for Gas Turbines and Power or the Journal of Turbomachinery.

ASME membership qualifies individuals for substantial cost discounts on both IGTI and ASME programs and products.

IGTI Committees
The heart of the ASME International Gas Turbine Institute is its highly successful committee structure. ASME IGTI's Committees provide regular ongoing forums for program development and technical exchange, addressing all areas of technical expertise covering gas turbines, turbomachinery and related equipment.

Committee members consist of leading engineers in close contact with the latest technical developments and state-of-the-art, and meet annually at the ASME Turbo Expo Conference. Currently, over 30 countries are represented by the Technical Committees membership across academic, government and industrial affiliations.
The ASME IGTI Committees support their individual missions with the following main activities:

• Monitoring trends and organizing sessions. Tracking current issues in gas turbines, turbomachinery, and related equipment, and shaping Turbo Expo sessions and other programs. Members suggest topics, present papers, join panels, and serve as session chairs.
• Supporting peer review. Upholding the quality of presented and published papers by coordinating reviews to IGTI guidelines, communicating revisions to authors, reviewing papers, and assisting Journal editors.
• Fostering cooperation with other societies. Building on ASME’s cooperative agreements with engineering societies worldwide.
• Growing the membership. Ensuring to maintain the breadth and depth of expertise each committee needs, and giving members the chance to engage with leading turbomachinery professionals worldwide.
• Recognizing technical accomplishments. Nominating papers for ASME and IGTI Honors & Awards, several of which are presented annually at Turbo Expo.
