Sepawa opens its doors next week!
SEPAWA congress organisers describe it as the ‘groundbreaking event’ for the industry, with over 130 presentations, 300 exhibitors and 2,500 participants.
A special emphasis is placed on fostering young talent, according to the team.
“SEPAWA specifically promotes young scientists. At the congress, up to eight excellent bachelor, master and PhD students will receive awards,” it notes.
“Also, a sponsorship prize will be given by the Expert Division Detergent Chemistry of the German Chemists Society.”
Out of this world keynote
This year’s keynote speaker for the event is Ulf Merbold, a physicist and former astronaut who will be speaking on the topic ‘Science in Space - Impressions for Earth and Climate’.
He took part in the first voyage of the European Space Lab, and was also the first European Space Agency astronaut to visit the Russian space station.
“In his lecture, he reports on science in space,” explain the event’s organisers. “He recently said in an interview that one of the most important tasks of mankind in the 21st century should be a manned flight to Mars.”
Sepawa also features a key focus marketing lecture, which this year will be given by Antionette Anderegg, an expert consultant, on ‘Body Language - Non-Verbal Indicators of Illusion’.
Front and centre: Innovation
As with similar industry events, the SEPAWA Congress is an opportunity for companies to showcase their latest and industry-leading innovations.
“New scientific discoveries and the latest product developments from the industry find their well-earned place in our lectures at the Scientific Conference and Forum for Innovations.”
The congress organisers explain that the event also places a special focus on innovation through three prizes.
“Within the framework of the congress, SEPAWA will award three prizes for exceptional innovations in companies which participate in the congress either as exhibitors or as lecturers.”
