GENERAL INFORMATION
Invitation
You are cordially invited to attend the 17th International Congress of Chemical and Process Engineering CHISA 2006 to be held in Prague on 27–31 August 2006.
CHISA Congress history
The series of International Congresses CHISA started in 1962 in Brno, then continued in Mariánské Lázně, and since 1972 the Congresses are being held in Prague – the heart of Europe. However, it is worth mentioning that the name was used as a logo for the national event as early as 1956.
The word CHISA originates from the Czech acronym for “Chemical Engineering, Chemical Equipment Design and Automation” and has become later a "trade mark" for large meetings traditionally devoted to the entire area of chemical and process engineering topics, covering science, research, development and industrial production.
From the very beginning, the CHISA Congresses have emphasised especially the East-West-European and later pan-European contacts. Nevertheless, the stepwise development during the last decade testifies a much larger broadening of geographical horizons. This is evidenced by permanent increase of participation from both the American continents, or from Near East and Asian-Pacific regions. All these facts have transformed the one-time Congresses into an event of world importance.
According to the number of papers submitted so far, more than 1300 contributions and a total attendance of over 1000 participants from more than 70 countries is expected. Two CHISA Congress plenary and four PRES Conference plenary speakers, together with 59 keynote lecturers have been invited to deliver their contributions this year.
Please pass this invitation and information also to your colleagues who might be interested in it.
