PharmaManufacturing.com

Both IFPAC and the Virtual Centre for Industrial Process Tomography (VCIPT) are holding conferences in 2007, and each group has issued a Call for Papers. Although the conferences are several months away, the deadlines for submitting abstracts are imminent: Sept. 18 for IFPAC and Sept. 30 for VCIPT. Information on each organization's requirements is provided below.

IFPAC's Annual Meeting / International Forum on Process Analytical Technology will be held Jan. 28-31, 2007, at the Baltimore Marriott Waterfront, Baltimore, Md.

The three-day forum will focus on the latest developments in Process Analytical Technology: emerging techniques, new applications, instrumentation, software, standards and a look into the future. IFPAC invites interested parties to submit an abstract for the forum. Listed below are some topics to consider:

• Separation Techniques

The 5th World Congress on Industrial Process Tomography will be held Sept. 3-6, 2007, in Bergen, Norway. The conference will cover the following themes:

• Multi-phase flow imaging and measurement
• Tomographic sensor design
• Data inversion and fusion
• Chemical reactor engineering
• New modalities/multimodality tomography
• Process modeling and control
• Industrial application and innovation
• Visualization and image analysis

Papers are invited for presentation under the headings of the conference themes. Please submit abstracts no later than Sept. 30, 2006.

Authors should submit abstracts via email to jenefer.cockitt@manchester.ac.uk. The recommended template for conference abstracts may be downloaded by clicking here.

Each abstract should be no more than 300 words of main text, in addition to the title, the names of the authors, their affiliations and any keywords.

Authors are also asked to indicate which of the conference themes the paper is to be considered under, and whether it is to be given in verbal presentation or poster format. The name(s) of the corresponding author(s) and their contact details should also be provided.

Accepted papers will be limited to 8 pages and will be required by May 1, 2007.
