Update on our 2015 edition : Materials for a Sustainable World
Dear all,
We have considerably progressed on preparing for our Forum.
Our program is now final with one third of our speakers coming from France, one third from Europe (Austria, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom) and one third coming from the rest of the world (Australia, Canada, Ghana, India, Japan, Korea, USA).
On top of representatives from our partner companies, we will also welcome executives from Airbus, Arcelor Mittal, Apollo Partners, Axens, BMW, Clariant, Decathlon, Ecobank, Emertec, Eramet, Guala Closures, Imerys, Johnson Matthey, Larsen Toubro, Morgan Advanced Materials, Mersen, Nanomakers, Nike, Sofinna, Total, and Variscan Mines.
Academics will come from Yale and University of California in the US, UCL and University of Greenwich in the UK, CNRS and Université de Lorraine in France, Hanyang University in Korea, Leiden University in the Netherlands, EPFL in Switzerland, Lula University in Sweden, the Institute for non Ferrous Metals in Poland, not to forget ITV Denkendorf and prestigious Fraunhofer Institutes in Germany.
Representatives from various industry organizations (aluminum, geological resources, glass, textile) will also participate as well as NGOs such as IUCN and Eco organisms such as Sociedad Ponto Verde.
Finally we have selected the 12 SMEs that will constitute our SME Forum and their leaders will come and exhibit their innovative offering at the Hotel de Ville de Nancy during the two days of our Forum.
So we would like to use the opportunity of thanking all our partners (Arkéma, EcoEmballages, Grand Nancy, I Pulse, Italcementi, Mc Kinsey, Mitsubishi Heavy Industrie, PSA Peugeot Citroen, Rio Tinto, Saint Gobain, Valspar, and Voest Alpine) who seem to be as much enthusiastic as we are about our upcoming edition and who give us their maximum support on a daily basis.
And we look forward to welcoming you all very soon...
The Organizing Committee
9 & 10 June 2016 - Nancy, France
