NWGD Symposium ‘Drying with high energy efficiency and for better products’
Annual Meeting of Experts in Dewatering & Drying Technology
Thursday 3 October 2024
Omnia, Wageningen Campus, Wageningen
The Netherlands Working Group on Drying (NWGD) invites you to the annual NWGD symposium about industrial drying technology on Thursday 3 October in Wageningen. We have an exciting program (see below) with speakers from companies, knowledge institutes and academia who will present their latest research, developments & innovations in the area of drying and dewatering. You will be able to connect to your colleague drying experts to share challenges and common interests, for example think about setting up new projects, new dryers and ideas. We designed a symposium program with long coffee and lunch breaks to catch up with your drying colleagues & friends.
During the symposium, we organise a poster & pitch session and will award three student prizes. Based on the submitted abstracts, posters will be selected for a pitch (5 min). One prize will be awarded for the best pitch and two prizes will be awarded for the two best posters.
The prizes are free to spend by the awardees and are 500 euros each. Only students are eligible for the poster prize. But it is noted that also others than students are invited to submit an abstract for a poster, e.g. introducing a new product / process, etc. We will have a limited number of place available for posters due to space restrictions. Also, other participants than students are invited to present a poster about their project or product. For this you also need to submit a short abstract to inform us.
