September 13-17, 2010

International Week on MNT for Space 2010

ESTEC Conference Center

Noordwijk, The Netherlands

 

The International Week on Micro and Nano Technologies for Space is an event organized jointly by the ESA and CANEUS Organization to be held at ESTEC on September 13-17, 2010. This unique event builds on the previous six ESA Round-Tables on MNT for Space and five CANEUS World Conferences and Workshops

Call for Papers

Deadline May 3, 2010

Abstracts are solicited in the following topical areas for consideration for either oral or poster presentations:

Since a few years, the interest of the space sector for nanotechnologies has increased and studies are now being performed to evaluate their potential. There are great expectations but there is still a need to investigate how well nanotechnology could answer the actual needs of the space community. Therefore, this Round-Table will also be the occasion to present the recent achievements in this field and to discuss realistic space applications.

Topics particularly encouraged for nanotechnologies are:

Moreover, this event shall also open new perspectives for disruptive technologies. In that respect, nanotechnology potential assets for space applications shall be presented, as well as related assessment and development activities.

The European Space Agency (ESA) is promoting the use of state of the art technologies for space applications by organising the 7th ESA Round-Table on Micro & Nano Technologies for Space Applications. It will be the opportunity to consolidate the MNT landscape and to discuss on the additional efforts needed to concretise MNT access to space programs, for spacecraft miniaturisation, attitude & orbit control system, telecommunication, payloads for Earth observation and space science, spacecraft power, launchers, navigation, etc.

GOCarbonFibre2010

Barcelo Valencia Hotel, Spain

 

IntertechPira is pleased to announce the unrivalled agenda for the leading event dedicated to the carbon fibre industry, GOCarbonFibre2010, featuring Airbus, Boeing, Opel / General

Motors and Zoltek.

 

13th annual Global Outlook for Carbon Fibre, newly branded as GOCarbonFibre, will take place on 29-30 September at the Barcelo Valencia Hotel, Spain and will cover all current industry issues from market analysis, virgin CFRP production to CFRP recycling.

 

Day 1 plenary session will open with the keynote from Dr Roland Thevenin of AIRBUS SAS analysing the future of carbon fibre in Airbus. He said: "I spoke about the A350 and A380 projects at the Global Outlook for Carbon Fibre conference in 2007 in San Diego and found the event to be an excellent forum for discussion of technical and market aspects for carbon fibre composites. A lot of water has passed under the bridge on these projects and

Airbus's further work with carbon fibres and I am looking forward to returning to IntertechPira's event in 2010 to share our experiences and vision for the future with the industry in what I'm sure will be a very interesting and enjoyable conference in

Valencia."

 

This session will be chaired by Bernard Zeller of STRUCTIL and will also present Dr Ing Wolfgang Oelerich of ADAM OPEL GmbH, Bill Carberry of BOEING COMMERCIAL AIRPLANES and Dr James Meredith of UNIVERSITY OF WARWICK.

 

Dr Ing Wolfgang Oelerich of ADAM OPEL GmbH says: "I am delighted to join the programme for IntertechPira's GOCarbonFibre conference to share the views of General Motors/Adam Opel GmbH on the future use of carbon fibre composites in the automotive industry. Carbon fibre has great potential to play a significant role in vehicle leightweighting for next generation vehicles. Combined with other clean technologies we are working with - such

as hydrogen fuel cells, it will help us to deliver the best possible environmental performance from our mass production vehicles."

 

In the afternoon of day 1 and morning of day 2, the conference will split into two parallel streams; Virgin and Recycling track.

Virgin track will feature speakers from STRUCTIL, OAK RIDGE NATIONAL LABORATORY, NATIONAL AEROSPACE LABORATORY, DÜRR SYSTEMS as well as the open forum discussion examining the need for industry standards, what these specifications should be and how to proceed with establishing an international standards system.

 

Recycling track, chaired by Prof Steve Pickering of UNIVERSITY OF NOTTINGHAM, will include presentations from TECHNICAL FIBRE PRODUCTS, RECCO Project Team, CFK VALLEY STADE RECYCLING, IMPERIAL COLLEGE, UNIVERSITY OF NOTTINGHAM, AERONAUTICAL RESEARCH

AND TEST INSTITUTE and NC STATE UNIVERSITY.

 

The conference will close with a presentation from Tom Hunter of FIREBIRD ADVANCED MATERIALS, discussing the challenges in engaging upstream users in the recycling process, and the closing keynote exploring the future of commercial carbon fibres presented by Zsolt Rumy of ZOLTEK COMPANIES INC.

 

With many networking and social events, including a drinks and canapé reception at the stunning Parc des Sciences y de l'Artes, GOCarbonFibre2010 is the ideal platform to make lucrative business connections and get the essential update on industry developments and issues. The complete and detailed programme can be found on the conference official website www.gocarbonfibre.com
