5^th European Weathering Symposium EWS

    Lisbon (more), Portugal, on September 21 - 23, 2011

(XXVII^th Colloquium of Danubian Countries on Natural and Artificial Ageing of Polymers)

Launched in 1967 by four relevant institutes from Austria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Yugoslavia, the Colloquia of Danubian Countries have been the only exclusive meetings in the field of natural and artificial weathering of polymers for more than 40 years. In the new form as EWS it has attracted a broader scope of attendees.

In the tradition of these colloquia, the EWS is a meeting point for experts from industry and academia to learn from each other. The EWS will be organised by the German Society for Environmental Engineering GUS in behalf of the Confederation of European Environmental Engineering Societies CEEES .

 

Main topics in 2011 are:

• Weathering of Polymeric Products – Plastics and Coatings

• Determination, Simulation and Effects of Relevant Climatic Quantities

• New Test Procedures and Devices

• Weathering Reference Materials

• Analysis of Polymer Degradation

• Service-Life Prediction

The European Weathering Symposium is being organised on behalf of CEEES by the
German Society for Environmental Engineering GUS (Gesellschaft für Umweltsimulation e.V.)
and supported by SOPSAR, APIP and LNEC from Portugal.
