8th UK Particle Technology Forum 2007
"The Science of Particulate Products"
Robinson College, Cambridge
26th-27th September, 2007
The Particle Technology Forum was devised in the mid-1990s as an informal national UK conference to bring together researchers, and especially young researchers, active in all aspects of particle technology in the UK. The UK is a world leader in particle technology, in disciplines ranging from physics and chemistry to chemical engineering, and the forum was established to support the momentum in this area and promote networking between different research groups, students and industry. The primary supporters of the forum are the IChemE Particle Technology Subject Group and the RSC Particle Characterisation Group, with input from IFPRI (International Fine Particle Research Institute).
The forum is an annual event and is hosted by a university department in rotation. The 2006 forum was held at Imperial College, London and the 2008 forum is to be held on 25th - 26th June at Heriot-Watt in Edinburgh . The forum is operated on a break-even basis, with the emphasis being on keeping costs down to encourage attendance by young researchers.
