Organised every two years, the conferences aim to promote collaboration and interchange between the UK and China and to share advanced information on the frontiers of both revolutionary technologies and fundamental theories on particles and powders, to provide solutions to challenges of sustainable future manufacturing.

Special sessions will focus on the emerging opportunities and challenges in advanced powder characterisation and simulations, and the application of both these and established knowledge to industrial processes.

We look forward to receiving your submission.

Kind regards,
