We are glad to announce that the II. IULTCS Eurocongress will take place in Istanbul, from 24th to 27th May 2006.

Innovation and New Technologies for the Future of Global Leather Industry

We aim with this event to create a perfect platform to discuss latest European developments covering whole leather technology refering to the entire tanning process, including raw hide, focusing especially to:

• Innovative technologies for the improvement of the leather quality regarding wet-end and finishing processes.
• Related analytic technologies
• Plant machinery and technologies
• Innovations on the environmental concern
• Techniques for recovering and using rejects and solid residues

Event aims to create a perfect platform to discuss the latest European developments covering whole leather technology referring to the entire tanning process and its relative improvements. Turkey, as a traditional leather country, will host IULTCS II. Eurocongress in Istanbul, the multicultural city, bridging the west and the east. This second European leather event will take place from May 24th to 27th 2006 with a highly interesting technical- scientific program. The program will offer to the participants an open discussion opportunity for latest innovation in the tanning technology in general, focusing on the theme “Innovation and New Technology for the Future of Global Leather Industry”.
Istanbul, which is one of the most historical cities of the leather world, will frame an enthusiastic environment to investigate all innovative aspects of the global industry to assure a consistent future for tanners’ world and to its relative industries, considering latest development on leather chemistry, tanning processing, improvements on the environmental impacts of the tanning industry, challenging developments on the mechanical engineering offering new opportunities to the leather industry, economical and commercial aspects, all targeting to increase the added value of the leather on one hand and fulfilling end-user’s satisfaction on the other.
Presentations of these works and debates will be the main part of the II. Eurocongress. Papers applied for the event will as usual cover whole leather treatment, concerning all steps of the processing, starting from raw material to the finishing and involving chemical processes, environmental investigations and plant engineering. Abstracts should clearly summarize the aim of the study, describe the methodology of the investigation, point out methods of analysis whenever it was applied and finally give a short interpretation of the results obtained.
As it will be realized during 28th IULTCS World Congress in Florence, it will take place a “Visual Display Session” in the Istanbul II. EUROCONGRESS, where authors will have the opportunity to present visually his poster work within five minutes, at a defined period of each oral session.
