Official Information:

The Swiss Chemical Society (SCS) is holding a scientific forum to coincide with the chemical industry’s exhibition ILMAC 2007. As the need for energy increases, this year’s scientific forum will show how chemistry, as an interdisciplinary science, can make an important contribution in resolving key issues arising in Switzerland in the next 50 years in combination with other technological disciplines, commerce and industry. The event is aimed at managers and their employees from the fields of science, commerce, ecology, government, local authority and politics as well as interested members of the public. ILMAC, an industry exhibition for research and development and environmental and process technology in pharmaceuticals, chemicals and Biotechnology, offers an appropriate setting for the forum. The theme „Energy and Raw Materials“ is highly topical at present. Scarcely a day goes by without new media reports on the subject, which are often controversial in content. In the forum leading experts from Switzerland, other European countries and the United States will give their views on currently available alternative energy resources and primary materials for the chemical and pharmaceuticals industries on a generally comprehensible level. Technically and financially realizable solutions for today and in the future will be explained and discussed.
