The 11th World Filtration Congress (WFC11) will be held from April 16 -20, 2012 in Graz, Austria and is expected to draw more than 2,000 attendees. WFC11 is hosted by the Austrian Chemical Society GÖCH which has a long tradition in organising major national and international events.
”We are proud that Austria has been selected to host the 11th Word Filtration Con-gress“, said Prof. Wilhelm Höflinger. “The venue Graz is a modern Convention City with over 1000 years of tradition, superb meeting facilities and infrastructure situated in the heart of Europe. It is a top venue for the event in the field of filtration & sepa-ration. We are looking forward to welcoming filtration experts from all over the world. Late abstracts are still accepted. Intersted colleagues find detailed info at www.wfc11.at.”
The WFC11 in Austria will embrace the international F&S community five days from Monday to Friday. The first day is foreseen for technical short courses presented by leading experts. Three and a half days are planned for the technical congress. More than 400 technical presentations are expected and a major international Exhibition from the world wide filtration and separation industry as well as manufacturers of particle measurement instruments and equipment of related industries with 100 ex-hibitors. The afternoon of the last day is reserved for a post-congress plant tour to ANDRITZ headquarter followed by a wine-tasting tour to Eggenau Castle.
In GRAZ, a Unesco World Heritage Site, the Mediterranean atmosphere of the Old Town, the striking modern architecture and the great cultural diversity together create a unique and fascinating mix. As Graz is located in a valley surrounded by mountains, with the river Mur flowing through the heart of the City you will enjoy its mild spring climate. In 2003 the City of Graz was Europe’s Cultural Capital and it offers delegates and visitors alike a unique experience in art, culture and history in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. It is also ideally situated to offer interesting sightseeing visits within short distances. The new international airport Graz-Thalerhof with its domestic and international flights is located only 10km from the new Congress Venue. The Central Railway Station has both Austrian and international connections with fast and frequent services to the Capital Vienna.
