Objectives
APPIE was established in 1971 in Japan with objectives to widely promote the
sound development of powder technology and the improvement of studies, research
and education on powder industry through collaboration between industry, academia
and government. In 2009, with the cooperation from ProcessNet, APPIE will be
pleased to invite various actors related to powder technology from the world
to an international forum IPTF2009 at ACHEMA, aiming the achievement of stronger
ties between Germany and Japan on the cutting-edge powder science and technology.
This forum will encourage participations both from industry and academia, pursuing
possibility of global industry-academia collaboration. Considering this forum
as a milestone for its future performance, APPIE now plans to start offering
“International Advanced Powder Technology Forum” as a regular international meeting.
Nanotechnology, pharmaceutical and crystallization will be discussed individually
at ACHEMA, and this forum will deal with subjects that are of mutual importance
in all issues above mentioned: particle interface, particle interaction, evaluation
and analysis of adhesion/aggregation and the control and application will be
mainly discussed. Unlike many of the conventional conferences that generally
have more involvement from academia, this forum will challenge to encourage active
participation from industry, providing an easier access to the forum. The vitalization
of the global industry-academia alliance will be expected.
