CALL FOR PAPERS

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, I would like to invite technical speakers to the 70th PIChE National Convention 2009 to be held at Waterfront Insular Hotel, Davao City, Philippines from February 25 – 27 (Wednesday – Friday), 2009, organized by the Philippine Institute of Chemical Engineers, Inc. (PIChE) and hosted by the PIChE - Davao Chapter. The convention will feature internationally renowned plenary speakers, parallel technical sessions, interactive poster sessions and entertaining social functions. Intending authors are invited to contribute high-quality papers. All abstracts are to be submitted electronically through the convention’s website by November 30, 2008. All contributed papers will be reviewed by experts. For general inquiries, please contact the Technical Coordinators Dr. Albert B. Jubilo or Engr. Maribel R. Blones at [email protected]. The national convention is the largest technical event of all chemical engineers in the country. It provides a stimulating forum for scientists, engineers, educators, environmentalists and students from all over the Philippines and neighboring countries to disseminate their new research findings and exchange information on current and emerging areas of research and technologies. It also creates a pleasant environment for the participants to meet old friends and make new friends who share similar research interests. Thank you and I look forward to meeting you all!
