Eurokin's 10th Anniversary meeting

19-20 May 2008
IFP-Lyon

Eurokin is an industrial-academic consortium in the area of chemical reaction kinetics. Its aim is to transfer knowledge in reaction kinetics from the academic domain to the industrial domain, thereby expediting the implementation of the state-of-the-art. Financed by the industrial members, Eurokin achieves its goals by funding projects on various kinetics' topics using a mixture of experts drawn from its own academic members and the wider academic world as well as various consultants in the field. Founded in early 1998, Eurokin currently numbers nine industrial members (companies) and six academic members (European universities). You may find more information about the Eurokin consortium at http://www.eurokin.org.

To celebrate its 10th anniversary, a special symposium has been held at which experts in the field of reaction kinetics, who have previously hosted Eurokin projects, has return to make presentations in keynote areas of reaction kinetics relevant to the industrial world. The symposium is non-confidential and, unlike other Eurokin symposia, was open to both Eurokin and non-Eurokin members. The symposium included a review of the work of Eurokin over the last decade by way of introduction. The details of the symposium are given below.
