21st International Symposium on Industrial Crystallization

The 21^st ISIC, originally scheduled for September 2020, is postponed to 30 August 2021.

We as organizer are concerned about the health of our conference participants and staff.

For that DECHEMA will still be in contact with the health authorities and will implement their recommendations and orders immediately. DECHEMA is closely following the developments. Should the situation change and further recommendations be made by the authorities, we will react promptly.

Current information can be found on the website of the Federal Ministry of Health via the following link:  https://www.bundesgesundheitsministerium.de/coronavirus.html (in German).

Topics for the 21^st ISIC, postponed to 30th August 2021

You are cordially invited to contribute to the scientific programme. The conference will cover all aspects of crystallization with a focus on the following main topics:

• Fundamentals of crystallization
• Crystallization and precipitation in fine chemical, specialty & life-science industries
• Developments in large scale industrial crystallization
• Contributions of crystallization to sustainability
• Integrated process design: Crystallization in the industrial process chain

Paper Submission will open soon.

Please submit your paper in form of a 2-4 pages abstract as pdf-file. The abstract should clearly state the motivation of the work, main results obtained and the advance achieved. Figures or tables (1-2) embedded in the abstract and illustrating the results are welcome. The congress language is English. If desired, after acception of the abstract, it will be possible to submit an updated version of the abstract incorporating recent results.

1. Please use only the conference template to correctly format your contribution.
2. Enter the author list (author and co-author) and contact details in the same order as in your abstract!
3. DECHEMA will NOT make any changes or corrective action regarding the author information, so please make sure to check them accurately.

The selection of the contributions will be based on the review of the abstracts by the Committee.

Please note: Registration fee cannot be waived for authors.

Submission of papers soon possible!

The selection of awardees will be done by the Conference Chair and the Co-Chairs, the grant will be possible for accepted papers.

The EFCE presents the triannial Excellence Awards to recognise a PhD thesis or paper(s) of young scientists which demonstrate(s) an outstanding contribution to research and/or practice in the field of crystallization.

The award will be presented for the fourth time during the 21^st ISIC in a dedicated session.

The award comprises: 

• A certificate
• A travel grant (not exceeding 500 €) to attend ISIC 21
• A complimentary registration to ISIC 21

The closing date for nominations is 30 April 2020.

Eligibility

The award is presented to a scientist in the early stage of his/her career, who have made excellent contributions to the understanding or the industrial application of crystallization.
Nominations may be submitted by

• PhD supervisors at a PhD-awarding institution in an EFCE member country, or
• Members of a national or regional member association of EFCE

No more than one nomination can be submitted by the same person; self-nominations are excluded. The nominated PhD thesis or paper(s) must have been published during the three calendar years preceding the closing date for nominations (1.1.2017-31.12.2019).

The organizers of  21^st ISIC and DECHEMA, as non-profit organisation for chemical engineering and biotechnology experts, are dedicated to the development of innovation that contributes to sustainability and well-being. We are striving to minimize the environmental impact of our conferences. Therefore we have committed ourselves to an effective use of resources, careful planning of catering services as well as promoting sustainable modes of transport.

For the 21^st ISIC we have calculated the event-related emissions and DECHEMA already contributed a carbon offset to the projects of Atmosfair gGmbH. These projects aim to reduce CO₂ emissions and support sustainable development by transferring technology and combating poverty.

As the calculated emissions do not include the means of transportations of the conference attendees, we would like to encourage you to minimize and compensate your travel emissions to Potsdam wherever possible. In case you are travelling by plane we therefore cordially invite to compensate your flight emissionswith Atmosfair. For all other attendees, please note the offer from Deutsche Bahn for reduced tickets to get to the conference.
