In the Italian tanning frame, more and more oriented to increase innovation and creativity levels, the Congress will be a fundamental occasion to investigate the possibilities to improve the whole tanning cycle with relation to the world future challenges that will be played on the commercial field and more incisively in technological research, environment safeguard and qualitative performance of the manufactured leathers.

As usual, the presented papers and the suggestions they will provide will be the predominant part of the event.

will be re-named "Visual Display Session". In this area, every author will have his own space where he can use his own audiovisual media to make his exposition more effective and complete.
Moreover the Visual Display author will have five minutes at disposal to present his work in the conference room at the end of oral memories sessions.
Who wishes to propose a communication shall send a wide abstract to the Technical-Scientific Committee by May 30th, 2004, written in one of the two languages (English or Italian) and paged in the way he prefers; the maximum length of the page shall be A4 format.
