The French/German adsorption board is happy to officially announce the organization of the first joint adsorption event next Fall in Strasbourg, France. This city, which is ideally located near the French/German border, provides a great venue for such a scientific conference. The conference will consist of a two-day meeting with both oral and poster presentations.

Held in Strasbourg (France) between Oct. 24, 2023 and Oct. 26, 2023, this first joint, binational meeting on adsorption is organized by the FRA/GER adsorption initiative -- with support from the French and German Adsorption Societies. More details on conference organization below (message from the French/German adsorption board).

We are now welcoming abstract submission [before May 31, 2023] and conference registration [Early bird deadline Aug 18, 2023]. All details can be found on the conference webpage http://www.adsorption.eu/conference.html

The conference will be organized around the following themes but we are happy to consider abstracts on extended themes provided they are related to adsorption phenomena:

  * Characterization of porous materials/adsorbents
  * Thermodynamics and kinetics of adsorption
  * Gas phase processes
  * Liquid phase processes and chromatography

We are also happy to announce that the following invited speakers have agreed to present at our French/German adsorption meeting.

  * Christian Bläker (University of Duisburg-Essen), "Methods for
    Characterization of Activated Carbons, Zeolites and Silica Gels"
  * Gabriele Iffland (BASF SA), "Industrial Applications of Liquid Phase Adsorption"
  * Cécile Lutz (Arkema), Title to be announced
  * Carlos Nieto-Draghi (IFP Energies Nouvelles), "A new class of descriptors for nanoporous materials and its applications to classification and CO₂ gas adsorption into zeolites"

Please feel free to contact us for more information.
