17th International Conference and Exhibition PLUS Optional Short Course

, ,

The conversion of a chemical process into a process for manufacture on tonnage scale is of vital importance in the Chemical and Pharmaceutical industries, both from an economic and often regulatory viewpoint. This was recognised by the American Chemical Society and the Royal Society of Chemistry with the launch of their publication Organic Process Research and Development in January 1997, edited by Trevor Laird of Scientific Update.

The Seventeenth International Conference on Organic Process Research and Development will bring together chemists and engineers from all parts of the world to discuss issues related to synthetic route design, development and optimisation, and the scale-up of these processes in the pharmaceutical, fine chemical and allied fields.

Why attend OPRD?

• Benefit by learning from 16 speakers who will present important detailed case studies
• Learn how to design for efficiency and optimise your development objectives
• Access how industry strategies are evolving to meet the challenges of today's market
• Hear how your peers are developing solutions to common problems
• Gather important information on technical development and equipment
• Bring yourself up to date on current development and future trends in organic process research and development
• Meet and network with the key people working in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries
• Save time. Scientific Update always invite experts in their fields who can impart important information to you right now

OPTIONAL SHORT COURSE

Design of Experiments

Given by Derek Robinson, Consultant

Scientific investigations involve changing a number of controlled variables to direct the response in question towards a desired level. Design of Experiments (DoE) is a rational and cost effective approach to practical experimentation that allows the effect of variables to be assessed using only the minimum of resources.This short course will use practical industrial examples to explore the construction and analysis of simple experimental designs, and demonstrate how these can be used to increase throughput and enhance profitability. Participants should bring a simple calculator.

This conference will keep you up-to-date with the latest developments and is the foremost networking event for Organic Process R&D!

Why exhibit at this event?

• Join other exhibitors who feature at many of our conferences each year
• Meet high-quality delegates from key international companies
• Interact directly with senior scientists, department heads and key descision makers

The conference programme is designed to provide exhibitors with the maximum time to mix with the delegates. Breakfasts, coffee breaks, lunches and evening receptions are all held in the exhibition area, providing a relaxed atmosphere for delegates and exhibitors to meet and network with each other.

The organisers reserve the right to change the published programme of events and speakers as circumstances dictate.
