G16 2013 - 3rd International Conference on Research Frontiers in Chalcogen Cycle Science & Technology

The 3rd International Conference on Research Frontiers in Chalcogen Cycle Science & Technology aims to provide an international forum to update the graduate and doctoral students, practicing engineers, researchers and scientists from academic, industry and research institutes, the recent developments, new research results and a wide-array of innovative applications relevant to Chalcogen chemistry, Chalcogen Cycle and Chalcogen technology.
On behalf of the Scientific and Organizing Committee, we would like to invite you all to the 3rd International Conference on Research Frontiers in Chalcogen Cycle Science & Technology (also known as the G16 Conference), to be held from May 27 ? May 28, 2013 at UNESCO-IHE, Delft, The Netherlands. This conference is specifically devoted to explore and introduce the world to the latest advancements of Chalcogen-based research, from a science, engineering, health and environment perspective. Following the success of our two previous G16 conferences in Wageningen and Delft, The Netherlands, in May 2008 and May 2010, respectively, we welcome your contributions in specific gist areas of Chalcogen-based research, that includes the following themes: novel (bio)conversions of chalcogen and metals, chalcogen-metal interactions, analytical techniques, (bio)reactor systems, speciation of chalcogen, production of chalcogen nanoparticles, role of metals in biodegradation, and other emerging research areas for application. Special emphasis will also be placed on novel innovations (physical, chemical and biological based innovations) in Chalcogen research that has a foreseeable impact on preserving/restoring the natural environment.
The conference venue, UNESCO-IHE, is set in the heart of Delft city, also home to the famous Technical University of Delft (TU Delft). Among the notable Dutch citizens, Antonie Philips van Leeuwenhoek (The Father of Microbiology), and Johannes Vermeer (The Painter) lived in Delft. The conference venue is perfectly positioned within less than a one hour journey by tram from the beautiful coastline of Scheveningen, less than 20 min by train from Rotterdam Central Station, and about an hour by train from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. The organizers firmly believe that the 3rd G16 Conference will provide an outstanding international forum for participants to present and discuss progresses in Chalcogen-based research, development and their potential applications. We are confident that you will find this G16 conference informative and enjoyable, and that you will have a great stay in The Netherlands.
We look forward to seeing you all at UNESCO-IHE, Delft.
