PRACTICAL INFORMATION

When: Thursday 26 April 2018

Where: Ghent University, Sint-Pietersnieuwstraat 41, 9000 Ghent, Technicum Block 2, Entrance A, Auditorium Cloquet, (Floor -3)

Target group:

• Companies active in the polymer/composite industry: material providers as well as processing companies
• Engineering companies and product manufacturers using polymer/composite structures in their products
• Software developers of polymer related activities and products
• Product designers of polymers and composites
• Academics active in polymer processing, composite materials and product engineering

Why participate:

• You will learn about the opportunities & challenges with respect to composites/polymer processing, simulation and usage in innovative products
• Inspiring talks by industrial leaders Vyncolit, NanoCyl, Bekaert and SimpaTec
• You will get a short overview of the COMPOHEX project, i.e. using composite/polymer materials for heat exchangers bringing added value e.g. in corrosive environments
