De wetenschappelijk directeur van de OSPT, prof Harry van den Akker, heeft op het NPS11 congres onlangs de eerste overall OSPT certificaten uitgereikt aan OSPT-Phd’s.

In order to reduce the average duration of a PhD term and to try and restrict it to the formal length of four years OSPT has installed a tracking system (in Dutch: promovendus volgsysteem). Full students of OSPT will receive on a regular basis e-mails reminding you of your time schedule and inviting you to submit information as to your progress.

NPS11 is the 11th Annual Netherlands Process Technology Symposium. This time it will be held in Papendal (NOT Veldhoven!), from Monday October 24 – Wednesday October 26. It is the biggest symposium in The Netherlands for engineers and scientists active in the field of process engineering.
Theme for this year is:
From plan to plant

The theme covers the entire range of research areas relevant to an innovative process industry - from small scale lab experiments via pilot plants up to pre-industrial applications and plant design, from alternative energy solutions and chemicals such as algae, 2nd generation biofuel developments, up to the more classical chemical engineering; process intensification, catalysis, separation technology, and all combinations of these subjects; from food processing to fuels; and from frontline academic research to multi-partner Open Innovation.
Please register via the website of NPS 11.

Looking forward to meeting you there.
