Oleochemicals under Changing Global Conditions

25-27 February 2007, Hamburg, Germany




Invitation

Dear Colleague,
we kindly invite you to attend the international congress ?Oleochemicals under Changing Global Conditions?, Hamburg/ Germany (22-27 February 2007), organised by the German Society for Fat Science (DGF).

The organisers have assembled a programme covering the most important aspects of Fats and Oils as industrial raw materials. It is not only a scientific update you can expect, but also a political one. Global conditions for the Oleochemical industry are truly changing: A growing demand for and production of Biodiesel has created Glycerol overcapacities. Research needs to be initiated to find new applications and innovative glycerol-based consumer products.

With 1.7 million inhabitants, the Hanseatic City of Hamburg is the second largest city in Germany. Economically and culturally, Hamburg is also the centre of Northern Germany.

With 755 square kilometres, the city area is seven times bigger than Paris and two and a half times bigger than London. Hamburg has 2,302 bridges - more than Venice and Amsterdam combined. As a trade centre, Hamburg has always been outward-looking, and this has shaped the mentality of the inhabitants of Hamburg.

Come to Hamburg, Hamburg is always worth a visit!

We look forward to welcoming you,
the Scientific Committee

Peter Reimers, ADM, Hamburg
