The <ref>[https://evi-gti.eu/evigti EVI-GTI - The European Virtual Institute for Gas Turbine Instrumentation]</ref> European Virtual Institute for Gas Turbine Instrumentation (EVI-GTI) arose through the European Union’s GROWTH program <ref>[https://cordis.europa.eu/article/id/15031-new-platform-for-competitive-and-sustainable-growth/en GROWTH - European Union’s New Platform for Competitive and Sustainable Growth]</ref> in 2002.

A definition of a ‘Virtual Institute’ can be found on the EU Cordis GROWTH web pages and is: “A network that links geographically dispersed complementary research and industrial capabilities with the potential to become a legal and self-supporting entity. The difference between Virtual Institutes and networks of other types is that a Virtual Institute needs to demonstrate the capability to become self-supporting”.

The idea behind the European Virtual Institute for Gas Turbine Instrumentation is to offer and maintain a platform for turbomachinery OEMs, vendors of sensors and instrumentation and academia. 

During the founding time, the new Virtual Institute was presented in several presentations and papers<ref>[https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/1038553 A. R. C. Franken and P. C. Ivey, "The formation of the European Virtual Institute for Gas Turbine Instrumentation (EVI-GTI)," IEEE International Engineering Management Conference, 2002, pp. 871-875 vol.2, doi: 10.1109/IEMC.2002.1038553.]</ref>. Some more funding projects were lauchend in conjunction with EVI-GTI<ref>[https://www.aramis.admin.ch/Grunddaten/?ProjectID=17137 Aramis]</ref>

EVI-GTI has '''more Wiki pages''' for '''Workgroups''' on: 

* the [[Instrumentation Lab Gap Matrix]],
* a draft specification on [[A Standard for Dynamic Pressure Measurements in Gas Turbines]] and
* an overview about [[testing opportunities]] for the whole community.
* a proposal for sharing tests on [[Scitek Instrumentation Test Engines]]
* a proposal for sharing tests on the [[BEARCAT Instrumentation Test Engine]] 


The association organizes and provides '''workshops''' and '''conferences,''' forms multilateral or bilateral consortia and workgroups e.g. for instrumentation standardization, [[Blade Tip Timing (BTT)]], [[Telemetry]] etc.

Recent EU projects that have been generated, submitted and successfully completed within the European Virtual Institute for Gas Turbine Instrumentation are HEATTOP<ref>[https://cordis.europa.eu/project/rcn/81454/reporting/en HEATTOP - Accurate high temperature engine aero-thermal measurements for gas-turbine life optimisation, performance and condition monitoring]</ref> and STARGATE<ref>[https://cordis.europa.eu/project/rcn/104300/reporting/en STARGATE - Sensors Towards Advanced Monitoring and Control of Gas Turbine Engines]</ref>.


European conferences of the European Virtual Institute for Gas Turbine Instrumentation (short: EVI-GTI International Conferences) are organized bi-annually and alternating with Joint Conferences together with the [http://www.piwg.org Propulsion Instrumentation Working Group (PIWG)] which are being held alternatingly in the U.S. or in the EU every two years.  


Together with PIWG, the European Virtual Institute for Gas Turbine Instrumentation (short: EVI-GTI International Conferences) has developed and continuously updated the Joint PIWG & EVI-GTI [[Instrumentation Lap Gap Matrix]] which sorts technologies for sensors, probes and instrumentation into several categories and shows which technologies are currently satisfactory (green label), which are not available but can be worked around (yellow label) and which are still not available today and thus prevent further development of gas turbine engines to higher efficiency (red label).
