nano4water cluster: Workshop "Nano- and membrane-based systems for water treatment"

3rd Dissemination workshop of the nano4water cluster

Water treatment and purification is a main challenge for the current and upcoming generations. Membrane processes, nanosized materials and the combination from both offer a wide range of possibilities and ways for water treatment by means of filtration and catalytic processes.

The nano4water cluster has initially been set up as a tool for coordination between and dissemination from the five projects resulting from the joint ENV-NMP call in 2008. In the meantime further NMP projects joined the cluster or expressed interest in joining it. So this cluster is developing into a focal point for EU research in nano-enabled water treatment, which we would like to maintain.

The nano4water series aims on bringing together activities and results of the areas named above allowing finding synergies to boost development status and ways into application. The 3rd workshop themed “Nano- and membrane-based systems for water treatment“ will be organized and housed by Fraunhofer IKTS in Dresden. The program starts on Wednesday, April 17 and ends on Thursday, April 18 in the afternoon.

Call for papers

Authors of conference papers are kindly requested to submit an abstract for an oral or poster presentation related to the theme “Nano- and membrane-based systems for water treatment“. All Papers should be submitted electronically as a Word file by e-mail to nano4water@ikts.fraunhofer.de by February 9, 2013.

Please note the following instructions to submit your paper to the workshop: The length of the document should not exceed two pages. The text should be set in Times New Roman 10 pt using 1.5 line spacing. Please underline the presenting author, title and add the complete address, phone and fax numbers as well as e-mail address at the top of the first page. Abstracts will be reviewed by the organizers by February 23, 2013.

Call for exhibitors

Moreover we invite you to present your company at the 3rd workshop of the nano4water cluster. The accompanying product show can be held at a booth sized approx. 5 m². Each booth includes table, poster board (A0) and 240V AC power supply.

Please use the registration form. Subsequently we will contact you soon for further arrangements. The list of exhibitors will be announced online and published in the program.

Hilfe

Die Suche / Erweiterte Suche im idw-Archiv
Verknüpfungen

Sie können Suchbegriffe mit und, oder und / oder nicht verknüpfen, z. B. Philo nicht logie.

Klammern

Verknüpfungen können Sie mit Klammern voneinander trennen, z. B. (Philo nicht logie) oder (Psycho und logie).

Wortgruppen

Zusammenhängende Worte werden als Wortgruppe gesucht, wenn Sie sie in Anführungsstriche setzen, z. B. „Bundesrepublik Deutschland“.

Auswahlkriterien

Die Erweiterte Suche können Sie auch nutzen, ohne Suchbegriffe einzugeben. Sie orientiert sich dann an den Kriterien, die Sie ausgewählt haben (z. B. nach dem Land oder dem Sachgebiet).

Haben Sie in einer Kategorie kein Kriterium ausgewählt, wird die gesamte Kategorie durchsucht (z.B. alle Sachgebiete oder alle Länder).
