REGISTRATION IS OPEN! Join the International Conference for Dispersion Analysis & Materials Testing 2024 in Berlin

In 2024, LUM GmbH hosts the next, now traditional International Conference for Dispersion Analysis & Materials Testing.

Emulsion and suspension enthusiasts, tensile testers, coaters and lightweight constructors are cordially invited to learn new analytical strategies and results from scientific and industrial experts. Acquire new methods to accelerate and simplify your R&D and QC processes with LUMiReader PSA & LUMiReader X-Ray, LUMiFuge, LUMiSizer, LUMiSpoc, LUMiFrac (for composite materials) and LUMiFlector.

 

Conference topics

  • Particle & Surface Characterization
  • Real-time & Accelerated Stability (Solid-Liquid-Separation/Liquid-Liquid-Separation)
  • Materials Testing
  • Product Parameter Monitoring

 

Due to popular demand the conference will again take place at the ABACUS Tierpark Hotel in Berlin. The conference starts on June 10 at 9 am and is closed on June 11 at 7 pm.

Five different shortcourses will take place at the LUM headquarters in Berlin-Adlershof on June 12 from 9 am to 3 pm. Each shortcourse is limited to four conference participants. Few places are left.

Partikeloberflächeneigenschaften und ihr Verständnis - ein Trend auch bei jungen Wissenschaftlern

Partikeloberflächeneigenschaften und ihr Verständnis - ein Trend auch bei jungen Wissenschaftlern

Drei Kandidaten für den LUM Wissenschaftspreis YSA im Juni 2024 nominiert

Am 10. und 11. Juni 2024 veranstaltet die LUM GmbH in Berlin nun schon die 11. Internationale Konferenz zur Dispersionsanalyse und Materialtestung (ICDAMT 2024).
Prof. Dr. Dr. Lerche, Vorsitzender des Wissenschaftlichen Komitees und LUM-Geschäftsführer: “Seit 2014 wird von uns der Young Scientist Award (YSA) für herausragende wissenschaftliche Leistungen auf den Gebieten Partikel- und Dispersionscharakterisierung sowie Materialtestung ausgeschrieben und nach festgelegten Qualitätskriterien auf der Konferenz vergeben. Junge Wissenschaftler aus Deutschland, Frankreich, Indien, Norwegen und der Tschechischen Republik sind dem Ruf gefolgt und haben sich um den Preis beworben. Drei Finalisten aus Europa und Indien sind letztendlich von der Jury für 2024 nominiert worden. [...] Vollkommen unabhängig von der Auswahlprozedur wird spannenderweise in allen nominierten Bewerbungen das übergreifende Thema der Partikeloberflächeneigenschaften und deren Charakterisierung sichtbar, ein Trend der uns auch in der eigenen wissenschaftlichen Arbeit sowie bei unseren Kunden zunehmend begegnet.“
