The Birmingham Conference and Events Centre | Birmingham, UK
Spaces available

Event overview

The 10th Winter Process Conference will showcase presentations from International Chemists covering all aspects of Process Development.

The speakers will discuss the latest issues in synthetic route design, development and optimisation, reactor design, work up and purification, crystallisation, process engineering, hazard studies and quality and regulatory issues.

The presentations will be either from speakers within the chemical industry or academics with a strong link to industrial process development so the material presented with be of particular relevance to all chemists and engineers in industry as well as graduate students considering a career in industry.

YOUNG CHEMIST AWARD 

Scientific Update are inviting 2nd , 3rd or 4th year PhD students to present their work at the above conference. This award is aimed at those who are considering a career in process chemistry in industry (including pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, agrochemicals, flavour & fragrance and speciality chemical industries) and will give them an opportunity to meet and network with key industrial leaders and discover potential career options. The 10 successful candidates will be invited to attend the above conference, free of charge, present their work during a 5 minute flash presentation session and present a poster. Prizes will also be awarded for the best presentation and best poster during the meeting.
