11th IIBCC, Madrid, Spain, 2008
After 20 years of hosting the IIBCC in North and South America, we move the event location to Europe. Madrid was the first European host city for the 2008 edition of IIBCC series.
At IIBCC 2008 we celebrated our 20th anniversary. In this edition once again around 160 main experts in our field from 33 different nationalities discussed the new trends and processes, as well as the improvements of the already consolidated ones.
The conference was the perfect platform to impulse ideas that joint us together. As we know, the conference was possible due to high quality program including technically and scientifically sound papers, enough time and activities for networking opportunities was also part of the success. Finally, the committed sponsorship was also very important, and with it all happening in a friendly environment.
The exhibition was very well attended by the delegates and many contacts and new business were done.
As part of the commemoration the organising committee established an Excellence Award to recognise the research which demonstrates the most outstanding contribution to research and practice in Inorganic Bonded Composites. After a taught competition the PHD student Alvaro Alonso and her supervisor Angeles Blanco form UCM were awarded.
Two technical visits were organised to Tolsa in Spain and to Traüllit in Sweden.
