Join scientists from around the world that will focus on presenting some of the most cutting-edge areas of scientific research. The symposium will bring together scientists and engineers who are working with compressible media (i.e., supercritical, near-critical, pressurized, solvating gases, high-temperature liquids, gas-enhanced liquids). Processing should be considered in the broadest terms to include materials processing, reactions, and process-scale separations. The program will provide for maximum exchange of information on techniques, theory, applications, and commercialization.

The symposium emphasizes personal conversations and exchange of recent knowledge among researchers. The best forum has proven to be conference-long poster sessions combined with open microphone discussion sessions. Therefore, participants are encouraged to present multiple posters of their research that relates to supercritical/near-critical/pressurized fluids. The deadline to apply for student travel scholarships is also the deadline date to submit abstracts, June 1.
