Interfaces'08 September 23, 2008

We cordially invite you as an expert and scientist in petroleum refinery and petrochemistry and associated fields of activities to present lectures of expectations, plans, research achievements, development results achieved by your companies. Keynote lecturers will expose broader perspectives to embedding new findings in state-of-the-art techniques and technologies. We propose to translate global targets into specific possibilities of our discipline. It is to remember, that our traditionally familiar events bring participants into closer friendship along official and formal discussions.

Recommendations

Innovation strategies and technological scenarios in petroleum refining and petrochemistry ask for sustainable development. Present day discussions are jam packed with worries for the environment, for living chances for our grandchildren. Petroleum and petrochemistry experts translate global awareness into science and technology duties that form the core of interest of our international conference.

It is important to note that the conference provides an excellent opportunity for the Visegrád countries (Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia) to share their experience in the field of petrochemistry and consequently to further the process of European integration. The conference can serve as a meeting place for scientists to hold a forum of a very high standard.

Mainstream topics

The conference is expecting high level contributions from all areas of petroleum refinery and petrochemical technologies and techniques. It is our utmost desire to stress on importance of regional focus. Topics addressing environmental problems and improvement potentials will receive additional positive support in selection procedure.
