Invitation
& Aim & Sessions
This is to invite you to plan for the EuPAT3, the third pan-European
Science Conference on Process Analytical Technology (PAT), building
on the successes of EuPAT1 in 2006 and EuPAT2 in 2007. It will be
held in Göteborg, Sweden, on October 7-8, 2008, in conjunction
with the Process Technology Fair. At this event, EuPAT3, special
attention will be paid to recent advances in PAT sensors and multivariate
process analytics.
Submit abstracts for poster and oral contributions - deadline and
instructions below.
The EuPAT Conference Series is a unique forum for scientists and
engineers, encouraging and promoting progress in science behind
PAT and strengthening the interdisciplinary scientific discussion
that bridges between the various fields underpinning PAT. The focus
for EuPAT is on scientific progress underpinning Innovative Manufacturing
Control and Quality by Design. New findings and results from scientific
research and technology development are discussed in the four areas
that constitute the cornerstones of sessions of the EuPAT Conferences;
Process Informatics; Process Modelling and Understanding; Advanced
Process Sensors; and PAT Based Control and Process Integration.
EuPAT3
Key Speakers & Presentations
The EuPAT3 Scientific Programme will comprise invited presentations,
as well as oral presentations and poster presentations selected
from submitted abstracts. Special emphasis will be on advances in
- PAT Sensors
- Multivariate Process
Analytics
Progress in these areas
will be covered in sessions on advances in Technology and Methodology
and Novel Applications with key presentation titles and speakers.
