New insights for IGC and ILC at the 5th International IGC Symposium

Panel with: Ralf Duempelmann, Eric Brendle, Adam Voelkel, Steven Abbott, Matthias Kellermeier

It was already the 5th time that the IGC Symposium took place on 14th June 2016. This year the theme was:

Surface Analysis by Dynamic Adsorption Methods in Gas and Liquid Phase. 

We always try to have a mix of speakers from both industry and academia to showcase the use and benefits of IGC in the business and to hear new insights and developments from research at technical universities.

The speakers and participants came from different countries, like UK, Germany, France, Switzerland, Poland and Czech Republic. The speakers presented very different aspects of IGC and ILC. For example Dr. Steven Abbott released the new online apps for IGC (more details will follow later) and I shared some critical assumptions in IGC measurements and their impact.

The IGC symposium is the best place to learn more about IGC, if you are new to this method. Here you find all the IGC experts and you can talk to each of them in person.
