The first International ZELLCHEMING Conference on cellulose-based materials, planned for June 21-24, 2020, in Darmstadt, Germany, will not take place this year.
The background to this is the hygiene measures for the event, which had become necessary in view of the corona pandemic and for which numerous foreign participants were expected. Intensive investigations are currently underway to determine when the event can celebrate its postponed premiere. The new date will be announced as soon as it is fixed.
The conference is a joint initiative of ZELLCHEMING e.V. with its technical committees and the Technical University of Darmstadt.
Prof. Dr. Markus Biesalski from TU Darmstadt, who chairs the program committee, says: "The announcement of the kick-off event of the International ZELLCHEMING Conference on Cellulose-Based Materials met with a lively response. We are observing a great interest in this topic and we will definitely stick to the event!".
The aim of this international conference is to bring together researchers from science and industry interested in R&D topics related to polysaccharides, paper-based materials and bio-economy. The event will provide a platform for experts from the fields of chemistry, physics and engineering to present and discuss their results, and at the same time will enable a new, close cooperation between science and industry.
