Joint Symposium SPICA 2006

In order to maximise the knowledge synergies and cross discipline capabilities that exist between bioseparation and chemical separation in terms of the latest application developments, in 2006 the scientific programme of ISPPP will encompass a joint day dealing with fields and themes of common interest in association with SPICA. SPICA is the highly renowned International Symposium on Preparative and Industrial Chromatography, and will hold its conference just before ISPPP 2006 on 15 - 18 October 2006 in the same location in Innsbruck. Both scientific committees have decided to organise a joint day dealing with the overlapping aspects of process scale separations, including scaling-up tools and principles, use of adaptive expert systems in process manufacturing, fundamentals of multicomponent separations in batch, column and SMB modes, and case study applications:

Connecting between Systems Design and Process Modelling for Large and Small Molecules.

This joint symposium day will occur on Wednesday, 18 October 2006, with the morning sessions emphasising specific attributes of the large scale separation of low molecular weight compounds and the afternoon sessions devoted to high molecular weight bioproducts. It will thus deal with key specific aspects of advanced separation technologies and their application.

In the remaining days of the ISPPP conference, the value generating aspects of new technologies and advances in bioprocess operations as applied to biomolecules will be dealt within a comprehensive manner. The use of new analytical tools and recent developments in the fundamental processes involved in molecular interaction and motion will form key sessions. The ISPPP 2006 meeting will thus provide key information relevant to all sectors of the bioseparation community and is thus a major conference that you should not miss!!!!

Because of the value of this conference to your research or work environment within your organisation please make a note immediately in your diary of the dates of ISPPP 2006 – 17 - 20 October 2006 – and plan to attend this important conference in Innsbruck. The Organising Committee looks forward to welcome you to ISPPP 2006 and your participation in a dynamic and significant scientific programme. You will be highly satisfied that you did!!!
